MLC? Maybe you can tell me...

Sometimes during the negotiations of D, the MLCer will become angrier
when they realize we have to take care of ourselves, our finances and the kids

I think this is where things are headed. I texted him last night and said that it seemed like we really need to spend a couple of hours in person talking about some of these issues. I also told him that though he insinuated I was being difficult out of anger at him or using time with the kids as leverage to gain more financial support, neither are true. He'll believe what his MLC brain wants to believe, but I just couldn't let that stand without speaking up. I'm not a gold digger and I don't use my kids as pawns.

I'm going away on Sunday, taking my girls to Florida for a week to see my parents and sister/BIL. The three of us really need a break. So I told him we could get together on 4/8 which is the first Saturday after we get back. He texted and sais "there's no need to wait, we can meet this Saturday." I'm planning on spending Saturday working on getting the house ready to list. So I told him no, I have plans, we will have to wait until I get back from FL. Then he texts back and says "I'm available on Sunday morning then." Again I texted back and said no, I'm getting ready to go away with the kids for a week. I don't have time to do this until I get back.

I don't get why all of a sudden he's trying to push this through after he sat on the agreement for a full month. I feel like he's trying to control the situation and I'm just not having it. If he wanted an agreement in place so badly he probably should have started the process before up and moving into his own place. Oh well.

SBJ - I do love me a Tito's! I'm a big fan of grey goose as well. And thank you for the song suggestion and the verse... I found both very helpful last night. I listened to the song a few times before bed. Really trying to let go and concentrate on the other things while God figures out my marriage.
