hold on!! - 12

[u-turn]

Thanks for coming over Peter.
I really am able to let that nonsense roll off of me - I know she is just angry and not doing very well expressing it in a productive way. (Listen to me being all analytical - psssh)

The accountant - I had been sleeping with my accountant for the prior 20 year - and living with the shell of that person for the last 2. She handled everything to do with our and our businesses finances. This was a mistake as she happens to be a not very good accountant. I have spent a lot of time and money trying to correct some major mistakes and probably illegal mishandling.

So - I think I am finding myself starting from scratch at age 45. Not the best situation, but one that I have no choice but to conquer. I am seeking advice from our financial service at school to try to get my retirement account moving more robustly - if that's even possible. I have to admit that I am not very good with money - I am not a spender, but I am not driven by the dollar.

I appreciate your insight with this though - if you wouldn't mind can you let me know how you ended up getting the short end of the stick - If it's none of my business that's cool too.

In our current state, her base salary and benefits are greater than mine from the school, and I make up for mine with my business (though that is variable and economy driven).

Thanks for the tip about moving on to another R or dating. I actually cannot even begin to think of this. and really don't know if I will be - It will be really hard for me to let someone in I think.

Thanks Peter
