Josh, I'm sorry that didn't play out as you hoped and planned. I agree you BOTH escalated the situation and this is the path to more expensive and contentious divorces. The question is, what will you learn from this for future interactions? Are you only learning to use e-mail, or can you internalize 1-2 other nuggets to avoid future mistakes and consequences?

The only way to win is to stop having these conversations. BL42 and I have said--decide what you want, communicate in writing, wait 2-3 days for emotions to settle, pass anything you write to her related to finances or custody by your attorney. My divorce was cheap and easy. Ready2Change still has all his e-mails. Get yourself onto the easiest possible path.
