Thanks OwnIt, I appreciate all input!

Thank you, Scout, I was hoping I’d get your advice on this.

I’m having a strong emotional reaction to your advice and I’m feeling terrified to follow it, which I take to mean it’s the right thing to do. I’m thinking of saying

“I want us to be on the same page regarding coparenting as well, but I’m not ready to have that discussion with you at this point in time.”

Is that wimping out? I don’t want to wimp out.
I’m also concerned about the open ended nature of it. I guess later when I’m feeling stronger emotionally then I can arrange to have the discussion??

You’re right, my emotions are right at the surface. And you’re right that this feels wrong. Which probably means it’s right smile
