Even if he were being told by a L or someone else to get into his own place and make it look like he's gotten rid of the OW so that the judge doesn't sock it to him..why would he buy a place instead of just renting one? I don't know, the buying of a new place just seems weird to me. I'm sure that the OW is pushing it, but is he so far gone that he doesn't know his a@@ from the hole in the ground? Cuz that's just plain stupid to let someone push you into making a decision of that magnitude in this economy. He would then be faced with two mortgage payments, plus utilities for each too. Does he make enough money for that?
Something doesn't figure here. Good grief..whatever you do, don't sign anything. And be on the lookout for him recording your conversation with his phone or something.
