I've talked to her tonight. I am calling this bank in the morning, and I told her about that. They don't seem to be interested in scoffing it up, but if they don't let me make this transfer to my account...... then they obviously are stealing...... I don't think that'll happen though. I'm calling the bank tomorrow, and we discussed options for it. The question came up in the dialogue of having it as a joint account versus having it just under my name. I haven't decided yet. I feel like if they're being genuine with me and not looking to steal, there's no reason why it couldn't be a joint account. That way if she was afraid I'd leave and take it impulsively during an argument, she'd be able to have some degree of control in it. She said it was up to me whether or not to have it be a joint account, so that's good. It makes me think the transaction is going to go through. To be honest, I'm glad she said that it didn't have to be a joint account.......... because I really don't want it to be one! I mean it's been nerve wracking having them "holding on" to that money. There have been many times when I've feared that they could be stealing from me, and if I get that transfer made, I won't have to worry about it anymore Hopefully, it will be happening soon. Then, I'll be able to put all this to rest for good
