Hey LT. In the settlement, I have to refinance the mortgage into my name only and xh has to sign the deed over to me. But, he said he wont sign it over until the mortgage is out of his name. Which cannot be done until the renovations are complete. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. But, he said today he would sign the paper, so we will see. I know the issue of paying for it will come up. Initially he even said he would help pay the closing cost of refinancing the mortgage... well... we know how that will work out. It wont.
Hey Matt! I've missed you, buddy! I've been thinking about you and hope you are well. How's the new job?
You are right, Matt. He does always think he is getting screwed and is always looking to screw someone over before they can do it to him. I have not done one thing- at all- this whole time that is vindictive, out of spite, in anger, or anything like that. In fact, there are things he still owes me which I haven't made a big deal of. Actually- haven't made any deal of.
Yet, he cries poor about everything. Even though everything was his choice. And is so angry when it comes to monetary things. That is the only thing that still gets him fired up. It was the reason for his monstering- all through the settlement (and would call the next day and apologize.)
Whew. I am so glad that I have been calm and steady through that. I know that I have not been greedy or selfish in any way shape or form. (HWW on the other hand was ALL about that. In fact, it was after she found out she would get less from xh bc my kids are considered "primary" and her percentage comes after that, that I believe she started trying to reel him back in. Prior to that, she was separating everything.) Oh well, as far as I'm concerned- they are each others problem.
I just want everything settled on my end once and for all- then peace out!
And I have got to find a way to not let those interactions get me fired up.
