Looking for help with WAW

[GH31]

G'day mza8,

In my humble opinion you handled this meeting brilliantly.

I told her that I want to keep the meeting strictly about our business. She said ok. Think she was a little surprised by my response.

Good.

She began to talk about selling house and dividing our things. I then informed her that I had moved out of the house. She was very shocked by this and not happy that I took what was left in the house that she did not take. I remained very calm, confident and collected.

Excellent.

I reminded W that she had already taken some furniture and that I left her old furniture at the house for her. I also reminded her that she took a large sum of money from our joint account and she also had a lot of money in her separate account. She could use her money to buy furniture of kitchen stuff for her apartment. Let’s just say she wasn’t happy.

No surprises there, but you handled this wonderfully.

Said we need to negotiate this stuff. I wouldn’t budge though and stood my ground. Kept my boundaries set.

Excellent.

Excellent.

She also wanted to know where I was living now and I refused to tell her which she became upset about.

It was a test and you handled it superbly.

Without wishing to sound harsh, it's none of her business what you do with your life until further notice.

At times she was very, very nice

A ploy to get you to comply with her demands. Or, in your own words, to "bully" you.

and then would get upset when I didn’t agree with what she wanted.

See?

Overall I was pleased with the way I handled the meeting.

You should be.

I never once talked about the M. I think my W left with a sense of “what just happened here?”

Brilliant!

Reality check is what happened. Consequences are what happened.

Superb mate, superb. I wish more men on here would handle their situtations like this.

After the meeting I went to the house to pick up my mail and my wife pulled in 10 minutes later to pick up some of her stuff. I talked to my neighbors when I came back later that night. They talked to wife earlier that day. Said that my W said all good things about me.

I am not surprised at all to hear your neighbours have said this.

Keep doing what you're doing!!!

IT'S WORKING
