I'm tired of STBXW arguing over minute details of property settlement. These circular conversations on property settlement are unproductive. It's been almost a month with practically no resolution or agreement. I have no desire to engage any further in these types of conversations.. as this is the domain of lawyers.
Save emoting about your feelings for us or your personal journal.

This is worth considering. Better than telling her you don't want to keep negotiating directly, would be telling her where her negotiations should continue, "I've decided not to negotiate directly. Please direct future messages to <mediation service> or <my attorney>."

I will then share with you the document when it is completed. At that point we can revise based on your input because we will then be having a proper and informed financial conversation. Eventually this needs to be done, so it is not wasted effort, the details can always be updated closer to final settlement. I expect this could take months to prepare given the complexity of transactions, the properties involved, and paperwork required.
To quote Nike, "Just DO It!"--hire that mediation service or attorney to wrap this up! You've been talking about that for weeks. That should be the end of any circular negotiations.
