Flirting with Time

[SuperDad]

Dave,
I agree with Sunny 100%. Do not let her words influence your path at all. When she attacks/expresses her frustration, etc. just listen and validate. For example,

WAW: Dave, I can't believe you redid our room, that is totally inconsiderate of you!
DAVE: Yes, I see how that was inconsiderate to not talk to you about the changes I made.

At this point, do not be afraid for a pause in the convo. or maybe even more venting on her part. Either way, stay calm and do not try to defend yourself in any way. Most of the time, you will notice that she starts to calm down and then you can decide if you want to get into a deeper convo. or just end it with.

DAVE: I am sorry that my actions/words offended you. Next time I will... (in this case, let you know in advance before I make any changes to our house.)

Maybe you knew all this already, but it helps me (at least) to write it down as a guide.
