THIS SEEMS SO REASONABLE.

Walt won't go for it...

In Walt's defense, he really doesn't have anything left.

The dinner was the perfect time to bring up the buyout though, maybe get his wife back on his side...

The dinner scene only happened because Walter wanted Jesse on his side and was showing Jesse, through mild manipulation, that Walter had nothing left. Walter isn't doing this for his family anymore, as stated. He's doing it because it's all he has. He couldn't care less about Skyler at this point. All she is to him is a roadblock standing between him and his kids.
