Unfortunately there isn't a lot more I can do differently, that won't mean suffering financially more for, in the long run. I have invested 12 yrs if my life. I am not going to give up on my share. Legally, the ball is in his court. I have to rely on his good nature. Once that legal agreement is finalised, it will be a different story however.
Malcolm, if I let my heart rule, I'd have kicked his sorry arse to the kerb a long time ago. But I have suffered too much shit in life already, to let my emotions get the better of me and possibly cost me financially. Once I have moved on, I want life to be as stress free as possible, so that I can properly move on and start living life again. The way I see it, I'm just going through shit now, to get a better end result. Rather than rushing it and losing out.
I'm all cold, calculated head decisions for now. I'm just protecting my future.
As I said, I can cope with it taking a whole longer. It's more his attitude to the whole process and lack of urgency that's pissing me off.
