FIB,

Thanks for the compliment. ERC came over to Surviving for advice and that's how I picked up his thread. I'm better at logic and negotiation than DB techniques. Although I must say if I had found DB a year earlier my marriage would be intact.

ERC,

I forgot about your financials--I think you opened a separate account? Have you been keeping everything separate? Have you and W separated paying for household things, or is she only paying for her car?

Again, this isn't pushing D. This is keeping her from having her cake and eating it too.
