Well any hope I had of thinking STBX and I could have an amicable D just went out the window. I called him to tell him that I would sign the house over to him and not involve lawyers (which is what he wants) if he wanted to settle with me. First he seemed ok with this until he realized I meant settlement as in $. He then proceeded to tell me that now he knows that I only care about $, how shitty of W I was, how I will regret all of this, etc. It turned into a lot of bickering back and forth on the phone. He said my idea "makes no sense" and that I should just sign the house over to him lickety-split and he's being generous by giving me all the furniture. Huh? This pains me because, hello, I signed over his green card to him and NEVER asked for anything in return and he filed for D. I told him I should have known what his character was when he told me if I didn't sign it that he would file for D. Grr. My heart was beating pretty fast and I was pretty upset on the phone. He told me he would not talk to me again until we are in court.
My thing is I don't understand why his proposed agreement is ok but anything I propose is stupid or makes no sense, in his opinion. This totally sucks.
He feels like a stranger to me. I have a feeling this could get very dirty which is not what I want at all.
