It's not her, it's you. You have that effect on some people Dom. Sandi reacted the same way. As do I, so you can't even say it's because you're telling us "truths we don't want to hear".
You can't get your point across if all you do is make people defensive.
I sometimes feel you're trying to hammer all these girl posters into how you wish your wife would have reacted. They're not her, nor are they you, nor can you pour your own determination into them. We're all different people at very different points in our lives than you, with very different beliefs.
LFL is a mature, intelligent woman. She'll figure it out.
Sometimes the best answer is, if you really want to help "don't just do something, stand there!".
PS: And would you mind losing that pseudo-paternalistic "I gave you homework and you didn't respond! *footstomp*" You did this with Sandi too. This is a free message board, and people DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND TO YOU AT ALL. No matter how many questions you asked them "for their own good". If they don't find it helpful they are FREE TO IGNORE IT. All advice is "take it or leave it" on here. Can't you get that through your thick head?
