Well, I'd say you have 2 ways of looking at it.

1) You're not her doormat, she can be a bit more courteous and plan, or ask REALLY nicely, or something like that.

or

2) She'll think you're a bit more manly by standing up to her a little. If you can stand up TO her, you can stand up FOR her. However, next time, get into the negotiation a little so she has a piece of the solution. She'll feel better because she was involved.

See, if my wife would give me a chance to do that kind of stuff, I'd sweep her off her feet - it would be such a huge 180!

We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
