I'm giving up, told W I'll sign at the end of FEB

[TooLateForMe]

That's exactly how I plan to lay it out, G. In terms of my feelings and what I want. The consequences are that I won't cooperate with her plans (D, taxes, etc).

What I hadn't taken into account until now is that it has to be like any other R, friendship or even adversaries (I hope not the latter). Respect works in both directions and as long as I feel respected (or at least acknowledged) I have no problem helping her in any way I can. If there's no appreciation (at least none in evidence) why bother. I'm a chump, chasing after something I won't ever get.

I don't want my butt kissed nor do I want to do the kissing.

Mostly I'm looking for the right way to frame this to her.
