WS's very often use anger to control their spouse.
The LBS asks for something The WS gets angry The LBS worries the WS may leave them for good The LBS then falls over backwards to please the WS The WS stops being angry The LBS then feels more hopeful
Its classic enablement... Very often duing the DB process your spouse will show ANGER... you have to learn to accept it and NOT let that control you.
If they want something unreasonable and get angry, just LET THEM... don't back down on that or they will keep using that tactic to manipulate you
