[QUOTE=Rose76;7428174]I don't see how showing empathy to your former wife can serve to address your current financial problems.

In the past, showing her empathy brought "companionship" as a reward. What kind of companionship can you expect from an ex-wife?


I'm not saying it's a rational response. It's not. It's an emotional response that's been conditioned into me for years and years.

My stress and anxiety went up with these financial hits last week. I'm suddenly feeling empathy for her and wondering if there is a way to make peace. That's not rational. I'm trying to figure out the source of that.
