I am trying not to get dragged into his drama, but it's hard.
I have not yet responded to his email of a couple days ago and this morning received a new email asking me to respond or he will "take other action" - i.e. go to court.
If i say "I can not guarantee that our meeting with mediator will create an agreement " as bklyn suggested, I know that he will use it as a trigger to refuse to attend mediation.
Thought maybe just say: "My preference is to settle asap via mediation".
Thought about leaving out 'asap' as it suggests that it won't be 'possible' without documentation, but this is getting ridiculously analytical.
Also thought about simply saying 'Whatever', and leaving it at that....
Had a thought this morning that perhaps this push to court on his behalf is some sort of unconscious desire to ruin himself and his business. So that the whole mess is all over and done with.
He MUST know that if he goes to court he will be required to produce the documentation I have been requesting. And he must also know that his tax records and business dealings will not stand up to scrutiny in a court of law.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen these blatant self-destructive tendencies in mlc-ers?
It's like he can't hit rock bottom while he has OW (and me) to cover his debts and living expenses, so he's taking the only course of action that will ensure that he is destroyed financially. It will surely also mean that OW will find out that he is monumentally in debt and not the highly successful b-man that he has portrayed himself to be.
