ookay.. well, you're gonna have to give up thoughts of reconciliation for a while then, sounds like, and just focus on not getting screwed over.

it's quite likely she's gonna dangle all kinds of little enticements while you're in negotiations...
dont be fooled.
time to stand tough.

remember: if you give in on stuff in the separation agreement, for better favour with her... her good graces arent going to last for you anyway.
and if you DONT give in, and she pulls a, "well how can I continue to be nice to you when you were /so horrible/ in the sep agreement' and shuts you out then... you know it was all just an act to try to soften you up anyway.

AFTER you get the sep. agreement done.. then its time to see what she is truely open to, once more.
