I haven't laughed this hard for months, thanks for that!
Guys I really appreciate all your input but my delimma is that I don't know how to respond to her. In some ways I go 'is it really worth arguing about? what's more important is DD and a few other things.' She's getting petty about stuff while I'm writing her checks for thousands of dollars but that's her, I don't have to stoop to her level. I can be me who's always had a big heart when it came to money and family. However, then I think about what Gardener said that I'll regret this in a few years giving her too much...but is it really too much what she's asking? I don't think so in the grand scheme of things.
After sleeping on it I'm leaning more towards saying something like: "let's not piece meal splitting assets. Whatever you want make a final list of it and let's work through the lawyers on it."
I don't want her to already take whatever's important to her and 4 months down the road starts to eye what's left. It'd be better if we decided it once and for all...a little bit of give and take is the only way I see moving forward. I think in order to "win" this I need to be prepared to walk away empty handed. Anything material that I value I need to stop valuing it. It's the only way I can deal with it in a business like manner.
