Thanks JP & K for your responses.

K-- $4,700 was deposited. He called it a "life policy", (I guess he has another retirement built up with a different company and nothing goes in to this one), says the penalty was 5% and that they've already taken the taxes before they deposited it.



This morning H text'd and asked me to call him.
So after waiting a little time I did.

He didn't initially say where the money came from, he just asked if I needed anything. I said "I can't think of anything off the top of my head" (I didn't know what to say, I probably should've said thanks, I will let you know if anything comes up.) He said he just wanted me to know he can help if there's anything I need. (I'd feel strange "needing"/"taking" money from him right now. But it could be a 180 as it may make him feel good to provide something for me? While married, I never touched his income b/c our 1st year, I didn't have a job, and one day in anger he said I was using him for his money and purposely didn't want to work. So since that day I made sure to show him I can take could of myself and didn't "need" him, which ended up probably caused damage for him as a man.)

We talked for about 15 mins, he mentioned he's driving to a city 2 hours away from where he lives to "pick up some things... and look at furniture" and he also brought up his progress with not smoking again.

I circled the conversation back to the lump sum of money he got, I asked where it came from (even though I know), whats the penalty etc....
Then after talking a little more about other stuff I ended the conversation.

After I got off the phone, I was thought maybe, since he asked if I needed anything, to ask for $300 to get a TM on a name I'd like to use for a business I want to start.
I will have to think about if it's worth asking or if I should save up and do it on my own???


Is it strange that I don't really desire to talk to him?
Things are much easier not talking, for me....
Maybe it's fear, maybe I'm scared he'll bring up D....
