Sometimes this all just baffles me. Like this morning, W is getting ready for work, I wake up and turn to her as she stood beside the bed and ask "how do you feel, arm still hurt" and W responds "umm hmmm" and I think "what did I do from the time I slept to the time I just woke up and asked you that question to piss you off now?"
Funny! But you don't have to assume that her moods are all about you. Probably they aren't.

I am standing on one side of the kitchen as W asked if I could grab something from the fridge, I head to the fridge but obviously not fast enough because W immediately said "NM I'll get it myself, can you do this instead" with an attitude. W puts on boots and attempts to tie the laces, I offered to help but she refused. She rather struggle and hurt than to allow me to help.
OK, here I would assume she is pissy at you.

W was leaving, I closed doors behind her and said "bye" and she walked out and she did say "bye" in return.
Very good. She listened to you and did what you asked.

And honestly, I don't doubt for one moment my W is serious about leaving. Despite everything we do together I can still see her walking out the door just for her to proof a point to me and herself. If she can make it a few days, she'll make it a week and if she can make it a week she'll go for two and so on till she can do without.
How can you stop her? She is determined to do her own thing. Maybe she should have thought of that before she got married young. Are you going to spend the next 50 years of your life worrying every day that she will leave you? Why not let her go and see if she comes back?

I watched my W shut her own mother out and to this day still does so.
I don't know the story behind this, but it is not a good personality trait. Goes back to the same question above, do you want to spend the next 50 years worrying every day about this?
