"All rise"

[faithisbelieving]

Thanks Gypsy. HI Frank...yeah, I paid my money in. I think there should be a disclaimer on the counselling stuff: no guarantees with MLC or spouses with deep psychological issues.

OK...sharing one more.

Telephone texts. We have an interested bidder on the house who placed a low bid. Realtor suggested that we counter slightly lower with another bid. In spite of all STBXW has done to me, I keep her informed of what's going on primarily because she has an interest in the house and secondarily to avoid any more motions. Herewith:

Me: STBXW...offer for X dollars. Will counter with X-Y dollars. Another outside broker is coming tomorrow at noon

STBXW: That counter is too high. I will speak to 'Mary' (realtor who is really supposed to be dealing only with me since my name is on the house. STBXW goes around my back, but, I tell Mary to keep her informed but all decisions must originate with me. STBXW knows that I will not agree on a final sale price without her mutual agreement.) We have already reduced the price of the house within the stips requirements even tho' not signed yet.

Me: It stays. (this was recommended by the realtor)

STBXW: I will talk to Mary

Me: U said that already. Feel free.

STBXW: I am 2 agree as well. You put that in writing (only on final sale, not how house is sold) and I will be happy to forward it 2 the necessary parties (threat again with the legal stuff) and show that you are still making decisions without my being mutually agreeable. AKA BULLY.

Bleh. We have nothing in writing signed and our stip will spell things out more clearly when it is signed on 5/4.

So...there you go. I'm a bully for trying to bargain to get a better deal on the sale of the house.

Torture.

Bleh.
