Punkin, they are a mess, and it shows. After the latest spew, I responded after a few days with a constructive solution, which he made a few amendments to, that actually I prefer, and got back to me with a "let's not wrangle on this, but be friends" message. At which point I nearly fell over. But maybe his lawyer had told him just how nice I was being in the circs, when actually I could have been much tougher. Who knows?
So I looked it over, waited a day just to consider it fully, and sent it back with a very brief message, thanking him for his hard work on this, and agreeing to it all. That was nearly 3 days ago and I have heard nothing more. We simply need to sort the admin arrangements for exchanging the funds. The date he proposed for finalising it all is this Friday.
We are agreed, it is all ready to roll, it is the final piece in the divorce falling into place [I have been divorced over a year now] I am waiting on a two line message to finalise it.
It may be the last lap, but I didn't expect him to lie down, like the hare and have a nap before the finishing line.
