AIBU - post v email

[shazwee]

I have an ongoing battle with my step dad and my late mums house, cut a long, upsetting awful story down, he is insisting that I only contact him via letter/post. I have explained today that I do not have a printer and email is quicker. He is refusing to accept emails ( he is a keyboard warrior and is always using email btw....)
At the end of the day its him wanting me to sell the house and buy him another property, so AIBU to stick to my guns and tell him its email or nothing.
PS, he is the most obnoxious man you could ever wish to meet, and he's just trying to be as awkward as he can....

Yes, definetly put your foot down and firmly tell him you can only deal with email and that’s it.
And further comments from him ignore

With email you have an undeniable record of everything that has been said. With post, even if tracked he can deny or claim differences in what was sent/received. I’d be very careful - or speak only through solicitors ideally.

Trouble is... unless you know that he actually engages with email and responds accordingly, how else can you communicate with him?

I’m really embarrassed now, I’ve just re read your post to see that he does actively engage with emails. I’m so sorry.
Forget what I said and crack on with emails.

Agree with this.

It does sound like he’s trying to be obstructive. If you’re not too far down the process, could you ease off the moving forward with the selling slightly so he realises he needs you and has made a rod for his own back?
