Hi What's Next, Thanks for stopping in! I'm sorry I didnt post to you in response to your request on Friday, but I've been off the board over the weekend. Also, I tried to post on your thread this morning, and I believe it's locked up.
I'll try to read through your thread and catch up on your sitch today.... I did read about the truck, and I have to say, I don't know if you read my old threads or not (I've been around a while, that would take A LOT!) but last spring, when my H's MLC was still raging (I'd say it's more smoldering now) I dealt with the exact same issue....suddenly one of the huge problems in his life, caused by me of course, was that he was driving an old vehicle because of my "stifling him"....never mind the fact that a year or so before this had been his pride and joy "guy toy--hunting wagon" , and that now that he's driving a nice almost new, top of the line 4wheeler, he misses his old hunting wagon! go figure! Anyway, his damn vehicle was one more BIG reason why his life sucked and OW was so much better (she drove his dream 4wd SUV)....So I decided to take that reason away, and did pretty much what you did....found vehicles to look at and arranged the financing for him, and let him go from there....(dangerously close to "mothering" him, which I try to avoid)....but it did seem to eventually defuse that issue....
