Well I see the boards are back up. So much has happened in the past several days. My W had an epiphany and decided to come back. We decided not to sell the house and moved back in together over the weekend…ok, not really.
Ok, real update. I was able to stop house from foreclosure. Had to go with plan B to do it though. Buyers seemed to have backed out…haven’t heard from them since last week. New set of potential buyers might be interested. I’m working on that.
W and I talked a few times last Wednesday night about house. She texted me around midnight asking if I was awake. I texted back yes and then she called me. We talked for about a half hour. She said she didn’t think it would work out for us to sell the house even with more time with me going with plan B the next day (Thursday). She said nothing has ever worked out for us with this stuff over the past 3 years. She said to just let the house go to foreclosure. I listened to everything she said. When she was finished I said I understand where she’s coming from. I told her that I’m not trying to convince her of my decision rather just trying to explain my reasons for doing so. She said something along the lines of me always “forcing” things and that’s not the way to get things to come back and work out. Not sure if we were talking about the house or the M at that point. I didn’t even comment. I just explained my side of things again and she repeated about me forcing things.
The next day I went with plan B. Not a fun day but I did not see any other choice. I texted her after and said it was done and the house was safe for now. She just texted back “ok”. I promised her I would call later in the day to discuss how we proceed with the house. I left her a voice mail and didn’t hear back from her Thursday. She emailed me the next day thanking me for the update and saying we’ll see how things go with the house. I didn’t respond. She emailed me again on Sunday for a house update. I didn’t respond. She emailed again on Monday for a house update and I didn’t respond. She called me yesterday and left me a voice mail asking for a house update and also a question about the bank. I haven’t responded to that yet either.
Ever since last Thursday my thinking has sort of changed. I don’t really care or see the need to contact her anymore about the house unless we get a contract. I’m not sure why she’s contacted me 4 times since last Thursday about the house. If I have news I will contact her. I feel like she did as the WAS when she first left. I don’t care much about what she thinks or if it gets her upset. Feel like I need to get my self-respect back now. I guess I’ll email or call her sometime later today with an update and answer her question about the bank.
