First, instead of how do you feel about postponing, I'd like you to consider postponing or I'd like you to think about whether the D needs to be finalized now as opposed to a few months later.
I've struggled with how to word that part, but I feel like wording it in the way you are suggesting would make it about my needs and what I want, and therefore might sound controlling. What do you think?
I definitely won't ask her for an answer at that point (though she may just volunteer one ).

everything you say should forward your goal of a delay.
Any suggestions from the above cut and paste notes on what those kinds of things might be in your opinion?
