I (f31) filed in February for divorce. My stbxh (m35) was on board and we were being nice to each other. I was willing to give him everything he asked for. The house, me taking the dogs, and splitting everything the way he wanted including paying me for my half of the house. We had papers ready to sign begging of May. He refused to sign because he didn't understand any of it. We were attempting to just use my lawyer. Which was fine. Then he said he was getting his own lawyer...now we can't agree on anything. His lawyer says that I owe him a credit for my lawyer fees and is asking for more than my lawyer cost.

I had to put 2 of my 3 dogs down during this time. I also let him come because he knew them their whole lives. It was the decent thing to do. I just want this to be over. He says he does too, but now I am pushing for the things I wanted from the start. I have had a lot of unexpected bills and I make way less money than he does. I'm not asking for any alimony. I just want my half of things. I also wanted my buyout of my half of the house in cash. I dont think I am being unreasonable with any of this. I'm just tired of being pushed around by him. I honestly don't think his lawyer is trying to help him but is more looking for her billable hours.

He has emailed me saying why can't we end this. Type of messages, all I want to say is we could have ended this in May. You didn't want to sign when I was just giving you everything you wanted. Im frustrated and hurt, but I have also finally moved on to the point I can really say I'm done with him. I know there will be days that all the old feelings come back, but it's not going to be the ones of love. I will hurt and be sad because it was over.

If he wants it over as much as I do, than why can't he agree to what I want. I'm just so tired of all this. I already feel I have closure but I also just want that final nail to just be done.

I need it to be over so I can feel like I'm not tied to a marriage anymore. I have always held marriage as scared and I just need it to be over.
