She said she was unaware that it would say, "Have your lawyer contact us within five business days."
From my experience, there is always a deadline during the legal negotiation.
Even after the legal, I kept the "template" used for negotiation. I end most negations with a deadline for her to respond. Watch and learn how the lawyers negotiate. Not too hard to pick up patterns and use them later.

Correct, there is no way to talk your way out of this. The less you say the better.
Your behavior during this is one of the important factors. New more attractive behaviors are key. Only you can figure out which behaviors to drop and which new ones to add. Hardest thing to do is change ourselves. Especially at our ages.
