There is nothing as particularly demoralizing as discussing or negotiating the division of major assets. Not this cup or that blender. Major assets. Simply by engaging in it, you enter into a relationship of you-vs-an-other. You are no longer mates. You are no longer partners. It's your interests vs. hers. Just by engaging in it, you dismantle the bond you shared for years. It feels dehumanizing to me.
You couldn't have said it better. The thing is, you have to treat it like a business deal, because that's exactly what it is.

This is the kind of thing I think about when I run at night.
Run, laying in bed. Its the same for me. That's one reason why I hit the punching bag often.
Gump, you are doing good, my friend. One foot in front of the other.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
