'The fallout wasn't over though': Amicable divorce goes south when ex-wife gets greedy, she ends up with less

Some people feel like everyone is out to screw them over, probably because they're out to screw everyone else over and assume everyone thinks the way that they do. 

As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, "People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." We project far more of ourselves than we realize when we give our opinion to others; if you think you shouldn't be trusting of other people, you're probably someone who shouldn't be trusted; if you think everyone around you is lazy, maybe you should take a look at yourself first. So much of the world around us works in this way, for, quite simply, our perception shapes our world.

Despite his best efforts to manage an amicable divorce from his ex-wife, this Redditor found himself battling her. She seemed determined to get the better deal, despite already getting a better deal anyways. He decided to play her game and let her work her way into a worse deal than she was already getting in this future classic tale of MC.
