It's the only thing that makes sense to me right now as to why Markle would back off. And I did say "reasonable" but there may be plenty of other "unreasonable" explanations. Seriously though, I'm not coming up with anything else, maybe I'm missing something here.
I don't see this as a Daic stall because Markle is the one that pulled out on the motion. Unless you're saying Daic convinced Markle to back off and discuss as a stall tactic. I guess that's possible, but why wouldn't Markle keep the pressure on? Getting this motion would only improve his negotiating power.
I'm not sure what you're referencing on December court date - that part is unclear to me. But I think given the recent motion filed, that would be the potential gamechanger where Daic may have realized it's over. If that is where things are, that only happened in the last couple of weeks so I don't think anything from December would factor in. Just my noodling things through, maybe there are other explanations.
