The divorce is 90% done. WH and I just need to come to a financial settlement agreement. He's made a rubbish offer, I have counter offered, he has come back saying he's sorry I think his first offer is rubbish, here it is again with two clauses removed, i.e. still rubbish with less sh!t icing. He's not even referenced my offer at all, even though it gives him everything he says he wants with the bonus of giving me what I want (DS and I get to stay in the family home).
We've agreed to have a conversation on Monday after he drops our son off about this. I am extremely nervous about this because we haven't had a conversation lasting more than 2 minutes for months, and we've only talked about the logistical requirements for DS. Every time we've had to talk about the divorce, I've become very emotional and it has previously descended into me forcing a R talk or getting angry and asking him if all this is worth it.
I know he practices with OW for his interactions with me. She writes most if not all of his emails to me. He denies this but it's a stupid because I know his style of writing. He can't spell, paragraph or punctuate, and then suddenly I'm getting these long, grammatically perfect emails from him about our divorce.
I have no one to practice with. I intend to spend the weekend reading and re-reading the cheatsheet to validation. Any pointers would be appreciated.
I just don't want to let myself down anymore. And I want to give myself the best chance of reconciliation. I am not sure I want this anymore, but I would like the opportunity to decide. I've been a bit down because I realised that two of the success stories from the list of restored marriages set up by Cinderellaman from ages ago relapsed. It was painful to see what happened to Yellowrose and Tipper.
