Your H is a typical MLCer --You read about the other stories and see how drastically they all change so quickly and they are Unreachable for sure and for a long time
Treat the D as you would a job or business deal do only what is best for you He is going to move forward in his MLCer way no matter what you do and the MLCer wants as much as they can get the OW likes to spend the money and your H is no longer the same..like an alien he cares about nothing but him
You are exactly right in your posts--do what is best for you in every area let your brother represent you and get other bids it may infuriate your H -and usually the D does cause some extra conflict but in the end you will be grateful you stood up for yourself because H can't right now-
