Saving/pension since separation

My ex and I separated two years ago, finally ready to address the divorce now due various issues.

we’ve got our first mediation on Saturday, she’s not happy about my pensions. I’ve had a pension up to 2018 which I’m happy to split. I also have a new pension I started in 2018 and have said I will split the value up to the separation (£87k.)she wants half the value of that pension now (£240k).

legally she may have a position on it but morally I’m appalled that’s I’ve been saving hard for two years to limit the damage to the original pension and now it’s all for nothing.

am I being selfish here or do I actually have a point!

Was it a long marriage ? Has the house increased in value in the 2 years ? Who's been paying the mortgage / bills / repairs ?

Tbh I'd let it go to court so they can't come back later or 'blame' you

just to be clear the pensions are being split 50/50. I’ve been in The house paying everything for a year and I also pay her rent.

im a higher earner. £150k vs her £40k.
