Dave, my STBXW is already detached too, and has said almost word for word the things your wife says. I think they have to do that prior to the D bomb.
I really hope that she goes to the retro weekend. I envy you that. I don't think I can even bring that up to my STBXW now.
Your posts are great, you seem to have made great strides in DBing. Keep up the good work.
