Well, nice thought, although it was far from a glorious day. Work was quite hectic and longer than usual.
Then H asked if I'd sit down with him and put our settlement on paper (just the stuff we already agreed to). I wanted to put it off until next week since my lawyer is on vacation, but he wanted to do it tonight. He has to respond to the petition for divorce before Sept 14th and believes if we don't have a settlement that I will get everything my way. Wish it was that easy!!! He did actually talk to a lawyer today (guess he doesn't trust me any more....or at least believes I am being greedy!)
I said I would talk to him, but not agree to anything until I talked to my lawyer. He wasn't very happy to hear me say that! I later told him to give me his best offer!!!
He was waiting at the house when I got home. He had 2 pages of various things and wanted me to initial what we agreed to. Some basic things were ok (like the mandatory child support), but I resisted his pressure to agree to the rest! I am actually quite proud of myself because I was very neutral in my tone and didn't even cry once!
I hate this part! I don't see how there can ever be a "friendly divorce" if only one party wants the divorce. On the other hand at least we are not yelling and screaming at each other!
