If only it were as easy as this.

Just curious. Have you asked/talked to your lawyer about this? I know how you feel about letting go of all the game playing and just doing what's right. But then again, when you consider how your W will react - regardless of what you counter with - she's going to have a negative reaction, right? (I know, I know, not supposed to think about her reactions...) But if she's gonna get mad anyway, at least give yourself some negotiating room with this?
