"T" I need more information from you: Here's my reply. I could not send it through traditional e-mail. Your address is not compatible with my computer. I have always had trouble with jrgweb.icertified.net.

Answer me this because I'm a little confused. Did she get the check earlier than she admitted? I say this because you wrote"TEN MONTHS LATER NOW, ALL THE SUDDEN, MIRACULOUSLY I FIND OUT." Was the check only in her name because the house is only in her name? Why do you think she wants this money -- for what down the road?  Do you believe that she wants complete control on how it's spent on the house, or do you think she will spend it anyway she chooses -- and that would mean on personal things she would want? I suspect she works full-time, and because you are on disability she has assumed more power in the relationship. What she did, I believe, shows a lack of respect for you. You and she are married, and these kinds of decisions-- how you spend income-- should be mutual. I can only think that because she, perhaps, is the larger bread winner, and because your credit history was in question, she believes she has the right to control how it's spent. I could see her point if you were habitually a poor manager of money, and she would think you'd somehow abuse it, but you didn't mention anything of that nature other than saying you have no vices. Please reply to my questions.
