I'm giving up, told W I'll sign at the end of FEB

[TooLateForMe]

I don't want the money. It's for DDs and new clothes. What I want is a show of respect on her part before I will run down and help her out. We were originally supposed to file together but she filed anyway without even telling me.

A little thing to complain about but this is one thing in a long series of inconsiderate behaviors. I want some say in how DDs are raised, some acknowledgment of what I've gone through these last six mos. I have apologized and kowtowed hoping to be forgiven. I've done a lot for which to apologize, but so has she.

I want respect and don't want to just give in every time she wants something. I half expect her dismissive attitude to get worse as soon as the D papers are signed.

What I need help with is communicating this to her without causing even more drama. The point isn't to be mean, but to get my stones back and finally stand up for my self-respect without whining or begging.
