That's why I don't think the conversation is finished on this issue for either of them. There is still time for them to resolve the complications.
How do you foresee these complications being resolved? MsHdog: Spend the money on your kids, your wife, and then, if there is any left, yourself. Me: Spend the money on myself.
I think that see me back down on this issue will get her two things: 1. The satisfaction of having won the battle. 2. Yet another reason to have no respect for me, and no desire for me.
