Hello all, could use some advice on how to proceed.
Had meeting with W and two L's on Monday to discuss buyout options. It didnt go well as there is pretty much no way I could buy her out. The housing market is just crazy where I live. Anyway I have been given plenty of time to make my decision, so I am sitting the children down tomorrow and tell them that they will need to find apartments and S22 has indicated that he wants to take the dog.
Now here is the perplexing part, as we are dicussing the buyout W's attorney says to me that she would like for W and I to start to communicate again and W doesnt like the fact that we dont talk. Once again i am just dumbfounded, I am thinking really, its only been two years, she could text me if she wants. So my response was... there is nothing to talk about we are here and we are almost done and when its done we dont need to talk ever again. She and my attorney then both say you guys should start to be friendly and its starts with talking... you both have kids together and your W is not happy about there not being communication. I stop everything and say that you are my L and not a therapist we are way past communicating. I am done now lets get back to negotiating the buyout.
I just cant anymore the stress this woman has put our family through and to use the L's to still try and upset me is quite ridiculous.
Any have any thoughts on how to proceed?
Oh yea after their first proposal I said absolutley not and they dropped the propsal by 20K. I still cant afford the house but still just more craziness!
