She said: "You have never put me first! You always prioritized your family over me!"
You can make this easy or hard. Your choice...
The easiest way (and most successful)
"I know. You are right honey. I did do those things and can see exactly why you feel the way you do. I was wrong."
THAT'S IT... Then be quiet... Agree, with her view, be sincere in your agreement and then be quiet.... JUMP on her side of the issues... the interesting thing is that once you do, then she will back off and start to say things like..."well I didn't really mean "never" and she will be more likely to start to defend YOU.....
This WORKS.. You are making something simple into something deep..... Just agree with her view of what you did, apologize, be sincere, then drop it.....

Knowing the depths of the issue between her and my parents, I readily agreed. It will be more comfortable for all of us. I'll have to have another uncomfortable discussion with my parents in which I now "un-invite" them, but it's the right thing to do.
THAT is how to do it. See? That isn't so difficult. You agreed with her and it prevented division. No biggie. I notice you say you "readily" agreed. PERFECT.
Be a happy man. Be confident. Learn to agree happily. It saves needless arguments.
