I have accepted that she thinks it is "normal" (no, really that she EXPECTS)for us to be best friends after a D I don't agree with that will have the effect of splitting up our family and depleting our finances.

Gima, my H says he wants us to be friends eventhough he has ow. He says b/c of our history and our children we should aim to be friends. Translation; "Cas, you should do everything to minimise my guilt and discomfort. You do the work and I will accept such gestures graciously but I won't make any sincere efforts."
Another unrealistic and unreasonable expectation from WAS
