Daddy, I'm not advocating "sinking to her level." I'm talking about staking out VERY basic boundaries about how civilly we should treat one another.
I could go back and pull out a DOZEN examples from OIN's prior thread, and from this one, but I have better things to do with my time than to beat a dead horse. OIN knows what the examples are, and he's choosing another tack that he feels works for him, which I will agree to disagree with, respectfully.
But I'm NOT suggesting "tit-for-tat."

I'm not suggesting tit-for-tat either, just breaking or removing some basic leverages which are keeping you in trouble with her.
It may be benefitial to do this in some stage in the DB'ing process.
