text: Syncing the Lisa thread again, then I’ll give you the newest inbound only.


text:
Newest from Lisa is `2026-03-13 07:49 CT`:

- `That’s totally fine. Could you share why a cost breakdown is not something you want to give me?`

Your most recent reply after that was:
- `For clarity, I’m basing my position on the marital standard of living.`

So the live unanswered question from her is now specifically:
- why you do not want to provide the cost breakdown outside mediation

If you want, I can help you answer that narrowly.


text: can you create a transcript of the last few days messages, and put it in my copy buffer?


text: I’m building a clean Lisa transcript from `March 10, 2026` through the latest synced message, saving it in the repo, and loading the same text into your clipboard.


text:
Done.

Saved:
- `records/communications/lisa_text_messages_2026-03-10_to_2026-03-13.txt`

And loaded that same transcript into your clipboard with `pbcopy`.


text: Syncing the Lisa thread again, then I’ll pull just the newest messages.


text:
Newest from Lisa is `2026-03-13 08:37 CT`:

- `Did you not want to share why you don’t want to give me a cost breakdown? I’m just asking for more details. I don’t know why you seem to be deflecting.`

That is now the live issue. She is pressing specifically on:
- why you do not want to provide the cost breakdown before mediation
- and she views your last replies as `deflecting`

No newer messages after that in the sync.


text: Syncing once more so we don’t miss anything, then I’ll give you only the new Lisa messages.

Two newest from Lisa:

- `2026-03-13 08:37 CT`
  `Did you not want to share why you don’t want to give me a cost breakdown? I’m just asking for more details. I don’t know why you seem to be deflecting.`

- `2026-03-13 08:38 CT`
  `I’m judging some high school debates for the next few hours so I’ll be off-line.`

So:
- the live unanswered question is still the same `why not share the cost breakdown?`
- but she is now offline for a few hours, so there is no need to answer instantly

no, say this:

"I'm not deflecting. The 50% approximation is a legitimate and reasonable starting point for a conversation like this. I'm also working on more detailed numbers and I'll have something concrete for you soon. I'd also gently note that I've asked you directly what you think is fair, and that question hasn't been answered yet either."
