Question

Had a crazy thought this morning. There is a possibility that FIL will be running for mayor. I don't think it will happen, but he is the best candidate and the current mayor has hinted to people that FIL should run.

How does this affect me? Well, FIL would have to start campaigning in November of this year for the primaries in May 2011 then the general election November 2011. Knowing the family like I do, this family is part of the royalty of our city. I always told H he was the "prince of the city" whenever he acted like I spoiled brat. Anyway I am thinking that if H hasn't filed by November and FIL decides to run, we won't be able to get D'd until next year. Part of me says good because there is a chance we could reconcile, but at the same time UGH! I want to move on. Plus I would have to do all of this stuff with the family to help FIL win, it could really get messy and hard.

Some may say why is this such a problem. Well, it will be hard for FIL to win. Everyone knows him which is why he is a good candidate; good name recognition, but at the same time, he is either loved or hated by people so there would need to be a lot of work making sure there isn't anything to hurt the name and H getting D'd because of an affair...not good for the image.

I know I shouldn't worry about it, but this could be a very real possibility and I don't know what to do. H won't do anything when it comes to D. He won't discuss with me what things he wants and what he doesn't or anything. He won't discuss anything at all. I am being nice and asking what he will want, not asking him to get it right now, but this way everything is packed now instead of later, but he still won't tell me anything. He only said he will file when he has the money, but he should already have plenty of money to file so...it just concerns me to think this could drag out until probably 2012...

Alright just wanted to type that mostly to get it out of my head, but also in case it does happen, I will have it down saying I had a feeling that would happen. I guess I will just ask H if FIL has said anything about possibly running, right now it is a no, but then if he says yes, ask H how soon he will file and tell him my reasoning for getting this over asap.
