Alright I've just asked a close friend of both of ours to serve as a proxy for communication. The settlement agreement I had drawn up is coming to him next week when he gets back from his vacation and I am sure he will have questions, and frankly, I don't want to field them or deal with his potential frustration or paranoia about the way it is written. It isn't my fault he refuses to get a lawyer and wants to discuss all that stuff with me alone. I'm going to refuse. I've asked the proxy to contact him ahead of time and say that any legal questions he has have to go through the proxy and not to directly contact me. Hopefully that will insulate me more from pain. It is the strangest feeling to have to go to such lengths for self-protection from someone who was my WORLD for 23 years and whom I had full and complete trust in up till 5 weeks ago, but I guess that proves that things can change drastically overnight and we have no control over that.
