So today we talked more than in a long time. Mainly about how we divide up things. The idea was even floated that we all live together. Hmmmm.....
She talked about how I didn't own any of this mess. I just listened and nodded. She said we were good partners friends business partners co parents but we had no passion. Again I nodded and validated and said I am sorry you have felt this way.
She wants us to be a family but a divorced one ... But still a family. Again I nodded and listened and said ok. She said she never had a voice and how i only want us to live together because I want her to do all the work again... She is only a work horse in my eyes and she needs passion. She said I must know now how much work she did at the house and how I must be feeling the strain. I said I hear you,
I said I want what is best for the kids and left it at that.
Jeez - we left it as let the lawyers do their thing and we will bargain from there.
So today was a lot of listening. She thinks we will all be one happy family.
