You're right. I do need to change my thinking. But I also do need to face reality and there is a fine line between the two. Everyone says to protect myself and they mean financially. However, I feel that I also need to protect myself mentally and emotionally.
I know that this is an offer, not a legal document. But it really feels like he thinks so little of me to make such a pathetic offer, or he just thinks that I am stupid. Your advice to wait 48 hours is good. I was hoping to wait a little longer than that. I did get an email from him last week and my first thought was not a pleasant one. However, I waited to respond...for a week...and my response was very short, to the point, and unemotional.
David - I don't know if my H is in MLC. He displays certain signs, but seems to be missing other key signs. Sometimes I wonder if I label him MLC because I need an excuse for his behavior. Or because MLCers come back more than WAS. I just don't know.
You are right - I have to separate out the business side of this from the other stuff. Mainly so I can co-parent with him. But this will be very hard. But you are right, I can't discuss this with him - it will have to go through the lawyers.
Thanks again for taking your time to post to me. I have needed this encouragement and advice tonight.
