Continuing Limbo

Another thought. Once we sell the RH we'll be able to pay off all our current debt and I won't have the survival of that business to worry about. I'm currently managing both her business and mine. If I pull out before it's sold it will go bankrupt within a month and the bankruptcy trustee will be in charge. The business is in W's name so it won't affect my credit rating, but I did put $200K into it to buy the place and have put about another $200K into it for improvements and to keep it running. I'm not about to let that investment evaporate. So once that place is sold I'll be freer to make my decision about where I go from here. I have a feeling that W will try to keep all the capital from the sale of the place. When I give her the accounting facts above she may say it's her business and she'll do as she pleases. That would lead to my company suing hers for the money which would certain bring things to a head. Some lawyers would make a lot of money.

So as you can see, I don't really want to go down that path. But that may be the path that's ahead of me.

Alternately, we could, as W says, hang on to the place as is starts turning a profit and I'll keep managing it and slowly pay the money back to my company. In the meantime I could still continue DBing and doing what I can to save the marriage, living under the same roof in this opaque limbo.
