Hi Scrant, yes I agree with Zeus and I don't think a reply to 'guilt' her is the way to go. I would just stick to business - how is this cash going to get paid and where will it come from? Always remember, you don't get to 'get' her to do anything. You just decide what you'll do and do it. Focus on what you can control and that will always serve you well I think.
Yes, I find the whole emoticon thing odd - I find it innappropriate given all circumstances. and I think it probably is the 'I'm a good person really and trying to keep things on a good footing' narrative. Best ignored I think. XH still uses his nickname for me. Whereas I switched to our actual names a while back. Not for any kind of effect, just that it felt odd to me to use them. I used them when we were together and now we aren't.
In general, I would think relying on a former 'gentlemans agreement' may be a cheeseless tunnel and as time goes on you may want to consider nailing down some of these financial aspects in a S agreement perhaps?
Just my thoughts anyway Scrant & take care. Do you have your fun summer plans in place?? Xx
