[quote=OpheliaAnyway, I'm really happy that you got such a positive response, and I hope there are more in the future. Try not to get discouraged if it takes a while to get another positive sign though. As they say, one step forward, two steps back, and so it goes... [/quote]
So much for the positive comments. We've had no contact for the past week since this e-mail on V-day until this morning when he called me at work and essentially began bullying me. I had canceled the meeting with between our lawyers and ourselves that was to take place tomorrow. I decided that I need to take some time away a few days to regroup and recharge. I gave my lawyer instructions to pass on the options that H has in regards to the mortgage on the house and his buyout. He was angry at the options - says they're not acceptable. He threatened to withold funds from his account and destroy both of our credit rating if I didn't change my mind and agree to sell the house NOW. I told him he is trying to intimidate me and I don't want to argue. He said "don't argue then". I further told him I don't want to discuss anything with him without a third party there as he is bullying me to change my mind. He told me I would suffer the consequences of this and slammed down the phone. I was a trembling wreck afterwards. I'm so upset that he has turned on me in this way. What happened to the man I knew? I think this is more than a few steps backwards but I need to stand firm and look after myself. He is used to me giving in but it's not in my best interest to do so. On one of the other threads a poster indicated that a WAS in MLC should be viewed as someone who is sick, who is behaving like a child. That's exactly what it seems like. He's having a tantrum. So much for positive comments.
