I assert a boundary that she doesn't like, and then reacts strongly.
Josh, persuading her to have a divorce logistics conversation isn't a boundary--boundaries control you! She referred you to a mediator or attorney. That's the same path we've been recommending to you.

I wonder what she originally wanted to talk about? I'd say, "What's up?" If the matter had anything to do with legalities I'd be following Valeska's lead and referring them to my attorney.
