So about a week has gone by since I sent H the pension analysis. Now, as a reminder, he is the one that wanted something specific in the MSA about what happens to alimony payments when he retires.
I messaged him today to ask if he has had a chance to review it, and to remind him that he still needs to complete a financial affidavit (which I sent him many months ago).
He responded that he did see it, but "I would need to see how your lawyer is using it in the context of a settlement." He also had a few comments disputing something in it, but ended the message:
"Don’t be so fast to push this. I still want to talk to you".
Well, as expected, stall tactics.
I just responded that I wasn't pushing fast, and that he was the one who asked for this to be done and wanted to include something in the MSA about alimony when he retires. That this was done specifically at his request, and I wanted to give him every opportunity to weigh in on it prior to the attorney drafting something. I also said that as he knows, I have always said I'm available to talk at any time.
I will wait 2 more days before I work out a proposal with my attorney without his input.
Well, I wonder what he wants to talk to me about? If he does, why not talk to me now?
No need for answers to my questions. It's all just stall tactics to try to keep me on the hook.
Stall tactics that won't work!
But, it has caused me to consider what I would do if he came to me tomorrow and specifically asked me to not file right now.
Not my fantasy, mind you. Just something that came to mind.
Something to mull over to help move through this process, perhaps.
