Had a huge argument yesterday when I told W about the entitlements. If she had a knife on her I reckon she would have stabbed me.

She was furious that she could not get "more" out of the divorce. It was like all her plans had gone pear shaped in regards to a larger portion of the settlement.

I pretty much anti-DB'd during the argument, and blamed her for our R breakdown (as well as myself). Telling her how fickle she was to destroy 17 years due to the last 12 months (this is the only part of our R that she is angry with, WTF, she has forgotten about the previous 15.5 years).

Anyway, I agreed to do my initial 50/50 on everything, which seemed to calm things down somewhat, and at least we are on speaking terms.

I hope you all are doing better in your respective sitches, but as far as mine goes, I do not think I would ever want her back regardless of what happens. And this is a feeling I have with no regrets whatsoever, which probably validates what I was thinking as far as 5 months ago (during my serious DBing).
