There are no regular interactions with her. The ONLY interactions she has with me are escalating demands through her lawyer, disregarding previous agreements and asking for more, more, more.
I appreciate the mindset that thinks that every marriage is worth saving. But I have tried appeasement, counseling, DB phone consultations, mediation, "going dark", "last resort", any damn thing I could think of. The results are the same: she is "done" with the relationship and is "entitled" to anything she can get under the law.
Not one--NOT ONE--person I know thinks I should try any more. Almost all of them have regarded her for years as a net drain on me and are excited that I will have the chance to proceed without her. Even many people who considered her a close friend since childhood think she's crazy.
