LBH w/ a WW trying to save my M

[gs9]

I would like to show her I am hopeful and optimistic about us reconciling. I believe agreeing to carpet and being excited about it would show hope. It would show I do see a future for us without stating it. Actions being louder than words. However, in order to protect myself I would stipulate in mediation that if one of us decided to keep the house they would also take on the any debt accrued for updating the house.

Of course she could be thinking "well at least we'll have nice carpet for the next couple months until we sell the house".

The truth is she probably isn't thinking and of course I'm trying to attach rational thinking to someone who is running on pure selfish emotions.
