I don't know if this is DBing but I think it is time to refrain from asking her what she thinks of you or why...duh.
AND, I think you should stick to only kid talk and specifics for a while.
I think this is a very good idea. I know you've handled it better than most, SP, but at some point, there's no sense in having her chip away at you and chip away at you . . .
Leave all the money talks from now on up to the lawyers. Until you go thru this you can't imagine the emotions the legal side triggers. It felt like someone going thru your closet, medicine cabinet, laundry, fridge, kitchen, bedroom, bank accounts, confessional and medical records. BTW did I mention you get to pay thru the nose for it?
SP, money talks will be a place that will be ripe for taking the bait. Boundaries will keep you from doing something you might wish you could get a mulligan on but can't.
You are going to be tested with this seperation and the legal stress. It will be draining on all your being. Use your help when you need it. You can handle it.
