A year on and standing 2

Hi BL42,

Yep I am definitely not going to compromise for a buy out of my share under valuation or even at a breakeven point.

At where I am, buyer pays premium on top of valuation. Thus if she wants to buy over my share, she got to pay that premium.

I know where she is coming at when she was asking about my work. Because at where I work presently, I do have the flexibility to be away as and when I need to. And this, back then during the times when we were fine greatly complements the family dynamics because she is in an occupation that does not allow so.

Why I am telling her that is because I don't want her to hope or expect that things will be the same. From all her suggestions, I feel she was testing water to try having her cake and eat it. Like buying out my share, my parents to help with the kids, the flexibility of my work arrangement etc. It's going to be different. Just like when she said we can be friends or co-parent still after we divorce but I told her I don't think I would want to remain as her friend.

This morning was a random session that she suddenly pop up when I getting ready to go out and no one is at home. More or less I have expected a talk like this will come from her in matter of time because I had previously also thought that the dinner will not happen. She would just take the chance of any random encounter like this to bring up this topic as she always did. Thus it gives me the feeling that she is testing the tempt once in a while to see my reaction. I have also thought of the scenario that once I receive the paper from her, I will tell her to give me a couple of days to run through with my lawyer and I will insert my terms before replying through my Lawyer.

That was something I told her before too at the start of the stitch when she asked me why can't we proceed the divorce on our own without a Lawyer to save cost? I told her I am not good at this. Anything can reply through my Lawyer. He represents my best interest.
