Hey SD:

S9 was in a mood tonight and started in about how I spend too much time working out and not enough with him.


Do you recall W saying similar things to you using similar language? I know sometimes when I talk to my mini-friends in my neighborhood - they say things where you can tell they are repeating what they have heard their parents say.

I can't control her, just lil' ol' me.


Good for you that you have firmly implanted in your brain. It will guide your actions and/or reactions and ability to detach as the D progresses.

I know W will never accept what is in this document, but, as you have pointed out, this is a business negotiation and I will start off shooting for the stars. Maybe I will hit the moon!


Do you have a good handle on the terms that you need to be able to settle? The goal is a fair settlement. Unfair settlements are typically revisited in the courtroom when a party realizes a settlement is biased against them. I have a friend of a friend where he and his X spend roughly 30k every year fighting - and they have been D for 10 years! You want a settlement that will make sure that when the D is done - it is really done.

It's funny, no matter how good you get at something, there is always another level.


He he... Do I hear an overachiever talking?

I love NYC. Have fun on your mini-vacation!

take care,
