I knew the advice I would get would be solid, I also knew what the advice was going to be. I know what I need to do, the hard part is how.
W basically avoids any contact with me, and what contact we have when exchanging D6 is brief. I struggle with how to say "We need to get the joint account closed" without coming off like a prick. I have said the previous phrase before and it remains open. She has said she would do it, but hasn't.
Setting a deadline and doing it myself is the only way that I know it will get done, but setting a deadline seems so harsh. I want to remain friendly, and making demands will put a strain on that. Of course letting it fester and make me pissed won't help a heck of a lot either
So, how to proceed from here? W has not shown that she responds to email, she will rarely meet me face to face, so I guess it will have to be a phone call to talk to her about needing to get this done. And a timeline for it to be done by.
Any more advice on how to phrase my request? Somehow "Hey we need to close the joint account, no really, really, really this time" doesn't seem to hold what I am looking for ;-)
