Keep doing it.. it DOES build respect on a very deep level over time...
Think about a man who chases a woman who keeps refusing him... He keeps going anyways because he KNOWS she's into him... but she can't show it...
This is a very subtle game... you keep being a husband and an adult in the face of all this.. she will respect the hell out of you despite how angry she SHOWS you she is, she's goign to tell you its over and laugh at you.. just keep being an adult...
That means do what you should be doing as a husband and partner and setting a good adult example for her to follow
