"The third time's lucky. "

Your ex is jerking you around if HE is one who wanted refi deadline but is now not signing. Go figure MLC. He's probably upset with himself for not asking for equity. But not asking for equity may have been due to his guilt for walking on you and your pets. You have established a paper trail proving your compliance.

I only wish...I had to fork over major moolah to get h's equity to him, but I'm in a hot real estate market and am fortunate to have had ability to do that. I figured real estate here is yielding better return than other investments, so if I sold and got the cash, where would I live? and what would I invest in that was better rate of return?

I have same issue as you with my wedding/engagement rings. They were my mom's. Dad gave to her, and after his death, it just seemed right to use them in my new marriage which was months after dad passed away. After bomb drop, and when H had taken off rings, I moved mine to my right hand. But now, even seeing them on right hand bugs me, so I've just looked at them in jewelry box for last month.

I'll keep praying for your cat to come home. Was she microchipped? I swear by that. I've had several pets over the years, and two times that microchip has brought them back home in rare instances they got out.
