JR, do the divorce negotiations ratchet up whatever ... tenseness or negative vibe you have with your wife? Maybe this is an obvious point. But I find myself dreading talking to her about it. Maybe that's why people let lawyers duke it out. Maybe that's why people do it after they've physically separated. It's hard to ratchet up the hostility when you're living together.
