Wow, Cadet, I was just finished reading an old thread you were on about detachment and withdrawal in the MLC forum when your post showed up. It was such a great thread and even had an MLCer (Wonka) on it talking about his own experience. What a blessing that thread was to me today, thank you.

I will take your words to heart today and reread them often this week. Thank you for posting. I so wish my wife and I did not have to talk finances now because it can be so adversarial but she is pushing to get it done ASAP. Any hints to handle the talk of splitting things/$ wisely? I find myself feeling sorry for her and wanting to give her more, so I have not been making decisions while she is here, telling her I will think about things and get back to her. I really want to do this fairly and with integrity but am finding that our idea of fair is not similar. I have also bounced things off of some good financial minds to check myself. Any other ideas? Thank you for the help!
