Hey Captain ~ I'm going to nitpick a little bit -- that was not really a DB conversation you entered into there.
Her: I'm never getting married again.
You (alerted to the fact you are getting sucked into an R talk): I'm going to go <insert GAL activity here>.
She's got her version of reality. The more you debate, question, defend, etc., the more she will entrench herself in her position. It is counter-intuitive.
When it comes to hashing out terms of a settlement, of course, it's time to assert yourself.
It's difficult. Conversation went a little longer than I anticipated. I was calm and not expressing emotion the whole time, but it is hard when so many logically twisted things come at you.
I screwed up at the end. You're right. Definitely not validating her on that one. It's been her choice to go down this road, and nobody tried to trick her or anything, but for some reason, she feels like she was fooled.
