Hi Eagle, for what it's worth not knowing MLC and your situation as well as the situations in the "Surviving" forum, I applaud setting boundaries on your relationship with MIL. He is no longer acting as your H, so if she is a drain on your life, limiting your interactions with her and/or removing her from your life is great.
As for the e-mail, my first thought is to shorten it--

Can you please tell me what you want, (his name), because it's not really clear to me anymore?
This cuts out the first line, which sounds frustrated, and the attempt to persuade him, "We're not going to lose anything if we don't try." Such transparent attempts often have the opposite effect.
My second thought is I wonder what your point is with this questioning? You're asking for his plan, and given he can't get a loan and he has a zero commission fantasy, he probably doesn't have one. It almost sounds like an R talk. Are you trying to get your half of the money out of the home a.s.a.p. so you can downsize and move? If yes, wouldn't you be better served by talking to your lawyer to learn your options for forcing the sale (I assume that's possible in your area)? If that's not your endgame, why nudge him for a plan?
