Update: W and I discussed the D process last night. Conversation began when W said her financial situation is not good and is very upsetting to her. (Continuing theme in our M.) I said D process is costly. W said she wants D to be non contentious. She got upset when I said I wanted a 50/50 split in time with the kids. W says that is not in their interest. I told her that the Ls should deal with the legal matters. I said that D makes Ls rich and the couple poorer. W said I was being difficult. I said that I wanted to be a great parent to the kids and that required time together. During the conversation the R came up and W told me that she knew I had changed since the S. Given that, I asked W if she was Ding the man I was or the man I have become. W said, I am probably Ding the man you were. W said that she had given that man several second chances and could not risk giving him another second chance because life is precious and she had already given that man too much of her life. I said I am not that man. W and I left it at that with her saying she would think about things, we put the kids in bed, and watched a movie together.
