As always, 25, you are very insightful. I realize that a lot of what you say holds true merrit, at least to some degree. Perhaps I do have these character flaws, some I KNOW I have. I am trying to work on them and it will take time. Regardless of how I iinterpret things, W has her own perception of reality. We all do. It is unfortunate that she and I were not able to work on our issues together in hopes of saving a marriage. In hopes of giving a 2-parent home to our little girl. It is just unfortunate....no....it actually Suckks!

She has known since before we were married about my share in the business, which is quite small. I own 15%. She has known that the business is an LLC, which should protect it from any personal involvment. She has known how our house was constructed, what the terms were and the fact that she and I together signed over the note a few years ago, giving it to the business so we would be able to benefit from the instests rate. She knows the legality of it, but she is holding on to the moral aspect. I see her view. She knows all too well that she has put money into it, and now she wants some of it back. I get that. unfortunately, I cannot give her any money. I can't because I am unable to sell it, I do not have enough money in savings and the other owneers of the business are not going to fork it over.
In actuality, I believe her request is far too high. We built the home at the PEAK of the real estate and building material cost in this area. Since then, just like it has all over the country, real estate prices have dropped.....not increased, dropped. W is expecting a nice return on her investment. She has literally spent 28k paying into our home. She expects 40K in return. In reality, even if it was a typical home loan, sitting on an actual lot for a single family dwelling, she would be looking at a LOSS on her investment capital, not a gain. her request is completely unreasonable
