I find it funny (not really) how I had dang near begged my wife to sit down and settle the division of assets prior to mediation. I explained it would be cheaper than paying three lawyers to battle this out. When we did try one time, she would just get angry and tell me she was through talking, so I would just get up and leave. I will tell you that I did try everything in my power to do the right thing regardless if I want to be divorced or not.

The reason I mentioned above was because I received a couple texts from W last night. Here is exactly what she sent.

W: Thank u 4 ur generosity thus far. I would like 2 ask the girls who they want 2 live with & save the time & money of custody battles. Can we get 2 gether & do that?

M: I didn’t respond.

An hour later I got this.

W: come on dude! We both love our kids with all of or hearts. If we can show them we can still get along no matter what their decision, we’ll all b better off! K?

M: I didn’t respond.

I don’t like texting and I don’t like writing like I am a teenager.

D17 picked up D12 yesterday afternoon because she was upset her mother told her she had to choose where she wanted to live. After I got home from work I talked with D12 and told her that she didn’t have to choose and she could love her mom and myself equally. I really don’t think that it is a good idea to put that much pressure on a child. After I reassured D12 she didn’t have to choose between her mom or I she said her mom kind of got mad and said if I break up with the OM would you live with me? D12 said you don’t have to breakup with OM just know I will never like him. W got irritated and quit talking to D12 at that point. I am having a hard time with all the pressure my W is putting on D12, I don’t like the guilt trips or pressure. I really have no idea how to handle this situation any help would be appreciated.
