So we had a hick up yesterday and my wife is refusing to sign off on the new house until I meet her demands. OH Boy she has completely checked out now. Wants to meet with a mediator to settle some things. There really isn't much to settle she is upset that I seem to be moving on and am able to afford a home. My wife is well off on paper she owns a bunch of apartments and such. I am essentially broke this house would have taken half of my life savings for a down. Though she is cash strapped she has income and retirement that I am not entitled to for the rest of her life. We borrowed 40K from her mother years ago before we were married and she would like me to pay half of that back. legally I didn't sign anything but I did borrow it with her. This would take the other half of my savings I would start with zero at 46 yrs old.
She also isn't happy with the kids schedule she wants to go travel so she wants every other week instead of what we have now which is I have M,W,F and every other Sat. I asked the kids and they seem to like the schedule. The transitions are smooth she drops off at school I pick up and vice versa. I can't go without seeing my kids fr a whole week, I just can't.
I have decided to back out of the house at this time. The kids were sad about it but I will fight for them at all costs. I really am at a loss for words I didn't see this coming.
