Yes it felt again like manipulation. And yes he is not completely alone, which I know is a lie.

I just had a very frustrating round of texts with him about the $1500 legal fee we are splitting. He was dragging his heels on wanting to pay the remainder that is his responsibility. He made things far more difficult. I am so irked by him right now.

He wanted to delay his portion of payment, claiming that the lawyer will still get going on the paperwork even with just partial payment. I don’t trust that and told him we must pay the full amount NOW. He finally, after much back and forth, sent the remainder due to my account. Argh!!!! I think he wanted to try and delay filing.
