I know that my case is strong enough and my initial offer fair enough that I don't need to budge.
I guess I am talking about trying to reach out in good faith and trying and talk like a mature adult our situation. I haven't tried to talk about what happened with her since January and I was still lost in the pre-DB wilderness then. I know there is no hope in ever R with my STBX, but it doesn't have to be any uglier than it already is.
