There are many reasons why I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, Ellie!
H is computer savvy, at least he used to be a programmer way back in the 80s. But he is also very lazy and doesn't bother to tinker and repair. The stories I could tell you about that! I'll keep that for another day, when you are out here visiting me!!
Here's an example - he's the one who knows about computers, yet he will be on to his fourth one in four years tomorrow. During the same time, I am still using his old one that is more than four years old and has been repaired, and I am the one who "doesn't know anything about computers" except how to hang on to one!
I had a bad experience when H gave D one of his "old" cellphones 18 months ago to play with, because it "didn't work". It was the smartest cutest phone you ever saw, and so I asked D to give it to me to try out my SIM card with, and it worked! It was much smaller and neater and lighter than mine at the time, which was by comparison from the ark. I used it successfully for a few months, including when I went abroad last summer. Then when H was in a rant last year, he demanded it back, saying that he hadn't given it to me , and he needed a "spare" phone! So I returned it, and eventually bought my own cute one, that HE DIDN'T BUY or GIVE ME!!!
And although only a guess, I am 100% certain he give the phone to OW2.
I don't want our things or lives entwined any more than they are, I want to untwine our lives. There is still a way to go, as we have not divided the household stuff yet. Or the house.
Got to see the laywer this week to clarify some stuff.
