You need to be firm, not let her bully you IMO......
BTW - to give you some insight into women or me since I shouldn't speak for all women - for me, it's easier on ME to be angry.......
For instance, after the blow up on Sunday, I decided to start packing H's stuff that he'd left at the house. #1 - I clean when I get angry, #2 - I was angry and hurt and starting to accept this is what he wants and it's happening so why keep the stuff around?
Yesterday he was texting asking if I wanted him to haul stuff for me. My answer - no, I'll take care of it. Pride? Possibly. For me, it's easier on ME to be cold, and just depend on me....
Not saying this is your W's POV, but it could be.
