I don't know if you know how rare an apology is from these guys. My X still won't admit his A several years later. Well, I don't know that he wouldn't, because I no longer ask him about that, but he never would before and he still hasn't apologized for what he did. Hopefully one day he'll apologize to his sons.
Anyway, discussing money with a STBX is like beating your head against the wall. The only thing I heard from him during negotiations was me me me, I I I. You spent the money on a L because he made you do that. What do these guys expect? Wait-I know. Everything. They're pretty darned special.
BTW, $1,700 is nothing in L money. He should be proud of you.
