That just adds fuel to the fire.
You let her do the heavy lifting. You listen to her proposals. You respond (which may be “That’s interesting, I’ll need to think about that”. Of course, the official response would be through your lawyer. All this is not placing barricades in her path, and not paving it in gold either.
Do have a time limit for the dialog. Once expired, make your exit. Its good to be the one who leaves the conversation first.
It is a difficult balance to find. Some validation, some STFU, and some GAL. I think you are doing well with it.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
