H is continuing to send nasty-grams full of accusations and revisionist history whenever I email him about financial information I need. I'm not too interested in engaging with him while he's being like that. Someone told me recently that her husband dragged out their divorce with disagreements over petty things as a means of staying married as long as he could in spite of the fact that the divorce was inevitable.

I don't really get that. I remember when H was divorcing me I was very upset. I went to see a lawyer and talked to her about contesting the divorce. She was honest that I'd end up divorced anyway, and I realized that I'd just be hurting both of us to postpone the inevitable.
