I got 99 problems but an MLCer ain't one!

So today was IRS hearing day, we at least got an installment agreement though it's steep.

I journaled the following a few minutes ago:

IRS hearing today. H came too.
Went as well as it could. He seemed more calm- said it will work out- before we went in. Noticed my redness that I get when upset.
Lawyer kept pointing out what a great job I had done on all of this. That it went well b/c I had done so much prep and gathered documentation.
Afterwords lawyer said H did a good job not being aggressive he says he knows it's husbands instincts to protect their wives. Hmmmmm.
As we walked out I was about to go into parking garage. H seemed deep in thought, with his hand over mouth. H stopped and said- thank you for putting so much work into this. I said thank you for coming. He was looking deep into my eyes. Not the " foggy" look. Then he said we can sit down and figure out how much we will both pay- I don't want you to feel this is all on you. I said we will see once you get a job offer.
He hugged me and left.

I'm sure he will revert back to MLC ways but it was like for a brief moment he recognized all he was putting me through ( tax issue is b/c he was irresponsible and didn't file a couple of years or protect our interests when he started a company. I did 95% of the work for the hearing preparing extensive documents and going to lawyer meetings).

At least that piece is done and I have a plan- now back to regularly scheduled program of GAL for the week.
