Anyway, nothing that significant about a chin strap, but it was the first time since the bomb where I was a bit snippy, and it came across as me snapping at W. And she didn't explode or get angry. If anything, she was submissive - NEVER has been before. But, perhaps the most important things were (a) I wasn't afraid to express my feelings and (b)we could have a near disagreement and be able to resolve it quickly which I think is a good thing given our current sitch.
There is a scene in "American Beauty" when Kevin Spacey gets feedup with his wife and his daughter and he throws his plate against the wall. He now has their attention and both of them get very submissive. Sometimes you have to say enough and "bare your teeth" a little. The key now is to get to the point that you don't need to have a outburst to get respect. You can handle it.
Cheers
