I think Kalni is kind of doing the right thing by trying to convince him to give her the D. Otherwise, she is going to spend 3 more years and a lot of money trying to get the D done.
Maybe using a little bit of guilt is what is needed. Something along the lines of "You have caused me to waste 3 years of my life. Please do me the favor of releasing me from the burdeon of being married to you."
