Frank, you need to hold her accountable to that payment. If she misses a payment she has to have consequences and you need to clearly lay them out ahead of time. IMO it should be something along the lines of no pay...no drive.
I also get that your thinking by march you will have more income because of closing out jobs, and this should be tremendous incentive to work even harder right now.
I am not so sure about the whole placating thing, I personally believe that people go at their own pace and some take longer than others to push through the brick wall. I guess when you get sick and tired of your head bleeding you will do so.
One thing that strikes me however is this. Your wife still seems to be on your mind way to much. I don't think it matters that she is being civil. You and I have had this discussion and I will say it again here. She is being pleasant and amicable because it makes being there with you easier. Who the hell wants to live in drama in their home. No one... So she plays house and is pleasant because it makes things easier for her, you, and your kids. So let it go, enjoy the fact that it's not a battle every day and silence at the dinner table. Play nice if it makes things more copasetic at home.....
Hey Jack.....F you........ sorry man but I just wanted to know how it feels to have huge, gigantic, elephantitus balls.....
