Suckerpunch down to the wire

Wow. The greediness inside you is really starting to show, IMO.

You try to paint a pretty picture of how you are doing this and ding that and wish this and that... If only wishes were horses...

So, your wife isn't buying what you are selling. Her wishes and desires are completely out of your control and, IMO, are sounding very resentful because of this. It doesn't sound to me like you have changed much at all through out the course of all of this. The changes you have attempted to make appear to me to be superficial and have many strings attached. If it appears like that to me, then I would bet dollars to doughnuts (unless they are Krispy Kremes and then I would do a twofer) that others might see it that

I could go through point by point and blow your theory out of the water. I owned a business for for five years, went through a merger into a partnership that lasted for sixteen years. I opened up another business after my wife and I moved to another state. I understand business.

I also understand how records can be made to say whatever position you want them to take. I also know I sure wouldn't want to have anyone scouring through my family's business books under some kind of a court order. I don't think that would make for a good Thanksgiving dinner.

You stand tall on the legality of things. My Grandfather used to tell me, "Just because something is legal, it doesn't make it right."

I used to have the same black and white view of life that you seem to have. Life can't be viewed that way. It will only make you angry. Life is about shades of gray (and not that cheesy semi-literate soft core porn novel, either) and about compromise.

These were long, hard, and painful lessons for me to learn.
