Letter to my H about internet. What do you think?
After his temper tantrum last week I posted about, I have written him 3 times asking about the wireless Internet I have in my apartment.
Maybe I should back up a bit?. When I called to get my cable and Internet turned on I needed to get info from him about the TV?s. During the discussion the Internet connection I was getting came up. I was going to have the cable company install wireless on all the computers. It was going to cost a lot and he said to just get my computer connected and he would come over and install the wireless on my sons and daughters computers. (Looking back this was a bad idea) He came over and just installed my son?s computer. Not my daughter?s computer.
After his tantrum last week I have asked for instructions to install her computer. Here is the letter?
?Could you please send me the instructions on how to set up the Internet on Sami's computer. She has the chat windows but explorer will not open. I will also need to set up Will's again. He will be needing a new tower and I will need to put the wireless on it.?
I have sent 3 requests. I will send one more on Tuesday. He has not replied to any of my e-mails. I think I will remind him of the conversation we had and his offer to set it up. If I do not get a reply to that I will send him a certified letter stating that if I do not get the information within 3 days that I will schedule to have the cable company to come back out and re-install everything and that he will be responsible for the service all. If he does not pay the service call I will take him to small claims court.
This is so stupid. I shouldn?t even bother with him. He is just trying to be in control of everything and he needs to know that he is not the ?All Mighty Controller? of my life anymore.
I guess this divorce is about to get ugly!

Re: Letter to my H about internet. What do you think?
Do you have a friend who can help set it up? Can Comcast Service Desk help?
Personally, I wouldn't pick this battle. I would pick a bigger one.
I will try and call them this week. He brought the wireless router. It didnt come from the cable company. I am not sure they will help me without coming over since it is not their router.
I'm going to be totally honest with you - I think you're being petty. I think he's acting like a child and you're playing at his level as well. If you don't want him to be the "almighty controller" then you have to come up with different ways to get things accomplished - including this wireless stuff with the computers. For starters, there are many sites on line that will be able to help you - do a search and you will find many message boards with people who are technically savvy that may be able to help you.
Regarding sending him another e-mail on Tuesday and then a certified letter if he doesn't respond? Um - that's kinda crazy. Then to say that you'll take him to small claims court for the cost of having the cable company install the wireless on your computers? I don't know anything about small claims court - but why would a judge award you anything in that case? I don't understand. So he told you he would install it. He changed his mind. We all have a right to change our minds. I honestly don't get it. You said that you were ready to pay the cable company to install it before but then he said that he'd do it. He changed his mind - do now you're back to paying the cable company again.
From past e-mails - I seem to remember that your children are old enough to have some type of job, right? Why don't you have them pay for the wireless stuff? Also, is the wireless set up absolutely necessary? Why don't you just hard-wire the computers?
I may not have all my information here - but from the info in your post - I think you're taking this too far. It takes two to make things ugly. Even if he's already started - you don't have to play into this. Why don't you just move on and start making decisions, taking care of issues, etc on your own so you don't have to rely on anyone else?

Call the Geek Squad. I am sure they can reset the password.
I'm not trying to be critical here, but I have done a lot of divorce work. If this is what is going to make things 'ugly', you are in for a long, nasty, expensive road ahead of you. You don't have any children of your marriage and you don't have a lot of assets to split up, if I recall correctly. There's no reason for this to get 'ugly.'
I agree with Kate.
He's playing with you. And you're feeding into it. If all you need from him is the password - then only ask for the password. Although - to me, it already seems like he's not giving it up. Call the cable company, explain the situation and ask them to help you reset the password, etc. There are ALWAYS ways to get around a roadblock. I'm assuming that everything is in your name with the cable company, right? Stop relying on him right away. Otherwise, he'll be the "almightly controller" as long as you let him. You are allowing him to control you. I'm even surprised that you needed to call him to ask him about the TV's when you were trying to set up your cable. What did you have to ask him?
