Real Me - 6 days ago. He jerked me around a bunch about how I'd need to pay fees (that wasn't what we agreed to.) Via text he hit at me from every angle -

"then you will be served"
"I'm tired of trying to explain your fears to you, Z"
"Stop being afraid, I'm not trying to hurt you"
"You never would let me lead"
"See? it still feels like we're married"

And I sorted it out with his paralegal, he agreed to pay after all. Wrote him a quick email notifying him I'd go sign on Mon and he'd have his divorce in 30 days. He wrote back saying "My divorce? you're the one who doesn't feel safe with me and it's my divorce?" I unloaded a big letter, told him he had room to turn this around, but it was absolutely his divorce until he wanted to take any responsibility for what happened and act like a H.

No response and I have enjoyed the silence.
