Well, I slept and woke and it's not really any clearer!!!
I am thinking that I will organise the financial settlement with him, ready for the sale of the business. Then it's all done and not hanging over my head anymore.
Then we are both financially independent. I then know any moves toward friendship are genuine and not just trying to keep things smooth for the best possible outcome.
It would also be a 180 for me to take this to the next step.
I'm thinking I ask for the divorce at the same time and then there's nothing left...it's all over and done and we are free to start again as friends without any pressures hanging over our heads.
