I really don't think he loves the boat. When H moved all his stuff out of there earlier this year, in an act of desparation she signed it over to H and parked in our driveway. OW wanted H to have it because she knew he liked to fish. This is an expensive boat people! She bought it to keep my H with her, OW was buying my H the whole time he was there. So the boat was bought for my H by OW, even though OW never admitted to my H that that was why she bought it. Just like she bought him an expensive gun safe for his birthday! H MADE her return that and told OW that he didn't want it from HER!
They've known each other maybe a year and two months after H moves in with OW she buys this boat because she knew at that time that my H liked to fish and sold his bass boat a few years ago. Enough ranting I think everyone gets the picture about OW! Even though it is just a boat, to me it's OW.
Yes I WOULD love to be able to buy my H a boat. I miss having a boat. Right now I have four brothers who each have a boat and are willing to let us use it. Maybe next year we can buy a boat.
H had forgotten all about the boat being his name and I think I will go with H if he does have to sign over the boat to whoever buys. She could also mail it to H with a return envelope, but I'm sure she won't think of that.
Totite, thanks for the wonderful suggestions. I had been doing some of those things, but they really didn't seem to matter to H. But then he was still in OW withdrawl and didn't want much to do with me. Now that he seesm recommitted I'll try again!
