I just visited my lawyer who informed me that she never got the signed cohabitation document that she sent to him. So that's a HUGE cluster-**** in my life today. I did manage to save a decent amount of money on my own in the last 6 months, but nothing to support me for any extended period of time. So we revised the document to be very simple with a lump sum that breaks down what the money is in liu of, assets-wise, and I have to put my tail between my legs and ask him to sign it. Which, I can assure everyone, will go horribly. But I have to ask.
My only saving grace is that he is detoxing and guilty and vulnerable. Perhaps the combination of the two will leave him feeling generous momentarily.
Otherwise, I am STILL at his mercy, financially. So I lied: not free. Same old ****. FML.
