I am trying to develop my strategy for myself and dealing with my W. Here are some of her issues about me: She says I am controlling and passive agressive yet she tells some of her friends that she wishes I would stand up to her. I don't get it. It seems like a conflict, how do I stand up to her without coming off as controlling?
I don't think it's so much her wanting you to stand up to her per se but maybe that she wants to respect you because you stand up for yourself - and not in some pissy passive agressive manner as before - but as a confident MAN . And YES, you CAN become a confident man even in the midst of this storm...
