I know I"m getting the better end of the deal in regards to house and goods (but not by as much as she thinks) if we really went to court and brought EVERYTHING into community property that would bring her 401K into play (which because of me paying for mostly all 'overhead' is much bigger than mine).
If you know your'e getting a good deal then don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

You are a very smart man.

Don't worry about punishing her. She certainly will struggle without your help.
