Audi, I'm not sure what the real issues are. I'm sure it runs deeper than cleaning and money. However, there are practical problems to solve.
Your point is well taken that maybe I need to do a 180 and be more present in discussing these issues with her. I do respond to her emails and talk to her after she's calmed down. You're right that I'm thinking that if I do enough or well enough that will satisfy her. The problem is that quality is subjective.
It's odd that some days she praises me for my efforts and other days I'm not good enough.
I'll try to sift thru what I think is valid, and try to meet her expectations, and keep making adjustments when I fall short. I'll work on balancing discussion with doing what she asks.
I'll also work on diaagreeing with her when I need to. This is where the hard work will come in, because I don't want to promote more anger than what I'm experiencing. But it is important for her to not think that she can bully me or that I can be intimidated.
