Hi Pam - Isn't it just so hurtful when they do not extend us courtesies we now know they are capable of? But I really like Maya's line, I'm just going to change my response, and though it may be borderline passive-aggressive, it should over time change his behaviour too.
Yesterday I broached the subject of legal title - made it seem like following up on something we had put in place 6 years ago - he was a little defensive, but I just let it go. Kept it brief, introduced the subject and dropped it. Today I'll take out the documents and leave them on the desk, in preparation for a visit to the lawyer that maybe we can make later this week to get the ball rolling.
I feel lousy about pressing the issue, he may feel defeated about the trust thing. Reading Sage's latest developemnts made me almost back off. But, I kept remembering the old childish rhyme - fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Some things I just gotta do to protect myself.
Best I can do is to validate his perspective in other ways. Sigh. This is not easy stuff. I'm glad you folks are around.
