Re:

Bill,

I am in tears as i write this, and have barely slept for three days. I am devastated beyond words. I find myself losing my best friend , and my career ,all in one day and by no fault of my own. As your friend , I suggest you carefully reconsider your alternatives. If Melinda decides to file for divorce I will of course stand by you and help any way I can.

I want to see you happy, truly. Difficult choices , no matter what.

As you know I am going in for delicate surgery on my eyes on Tuesday. . This timing could not be worse. I will be totally out of it, for a few days. I hope you are able to convince Melinda to allow me to continue doing my job, a job you described as I could not have done better. I hoped to ask her face to face to change her mind. I have done nothing wrong. However,

I recognize the fact that it might not be possible at this time . I also realize I will need a lawyer to review any agreement we might enter into, but I don't trust any , with so much sensitive info. I have asked Jeffrey to oversee and negotiate for me , and have given him power of attorney to act on my behalf . He also needed to be my health proxy during my operation.

I have informed him of all the details surrounding our dilemma. I trust him 100%. My communication with him is privileged , no worry . He has agreed to act as my financial and legal representative. You can trust him. . He has dealt with very similar problems in the past. Obviously he hasn't given me the details.

I would greatly appreciate you and he talking directly. He does not know Larry , and cannot be open with him. He doesn't like or trust pr people.

This is a terrible circumstance in which we find ourselves ,but I am confident of our friendship and I know you know how devoted I am to you .

if you are going to talk face to face , then you MUST tell him that you already told me the details , otherwise , he might tell you make sure you don't then you are screwed

I agree but if he says no face to face , what will you do.. I thought that if he says no in writing you can then have a back up

this is great. My only worry is whether I should send him now or tell him when I see him on Monday.

He is still trying to make it work with Melinda. He is having next round of negotiation with her next

weekend.

If all fails - then it is a negotiation for a next steps.

If I send it right now it reads that I accepted that it is all over.

Finally I can't put some things such as divorce in a email. If she reads, she will go extra steps to be as

nasty as possible.

Also I think that my chances of convincing him to talk to you are higher if I do it in person and not over

the email.

So how about to hold this for 8 days?

THANK YOU

yes, BUT I don t think you understand how weak he really is, and for the moment you represent pain, he will try to figure out , how to avoid the pain, because he can't avoid melinda. As you make your calculus of decisions please keep in mind that your perception of the outcome of the house, and the perception of how he wouldn't every do something like this, or the idea that he would be fair with yo u re partnership structure, was distorted by how you would have behaved in the same circumstance.
