"If the EU were decent enough to sit down and actually talk with May about what would need to be done to the deal to make parliament and the 27 member states happy it would have been a lot smoother I bet."

This assumes the EU wants a smooth exit for Britain, which they don't. They want it to be a disaster for Britain as an example, so as to discourage others from jumping ship. If Britain makes a go of it and doesn't go all third world after the exit, other members who see more money leaving than coming in will wonder why they are staying. A smooth exit for Britain would be a road map for others to leave, a disaster means other nations wanting to leave must figure out how on their own.
