I got his response to the petition a few days ago. There were some surprises there, and he’s contradicting things he said in our conversations about the settlement. I guess he’s changed his mind, and he’s entitled to do that. The only problem is that I can’t get him to have a civil conversation.

We’ve exchanged emails about financial records and he is currently refusing to send me copies of records and spends his time writing me nasty-grams rather than just sending the information. It's all fruitless. The court will make him send me the records.

The end result is that he’s dragging this out and making it more painful. I’m trying to cut him some slack, because I know he’s hurt. I was just thinking about how much it hurts to let him go, because I do love him very much. I wish I could hug him and tell him everything will be okay, but he would doesn't want anything "nice" from me. It has hurt for so long that he doesn’t want to be with me. It doesn’t make sense that he’s holding on so hard now. Maybe it really is all about money for him.
