As I am walking away she is berating me and then usually follows up the next time I see her with the same argument. Sometimes an email to say i am really pi$$ing her off and not willing to discuss anything.
These are conversations we need to have so if she starts raising her voice should I just walk away and not raise the topic again until she initiates it quote]
YES.
[quote]I think she perceives this as me delaying the separation.
A: "I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm doing what I feel I need to do in order to best protect myself."
or
"The separation is really a legal issue at this point, unfortunately. We'd be best to let our attorneys handle that."
Khudoo, one thing I learned thru my sitch is that we really do teach people how to treat us over time. Your wife has learned, unfortunately, that if she just continues to harrass and berate you, you will continue to conversation (and often give into her).
It's up to you to stop that habit, and break the cycle. It's a learned skill, and it will feel awkward as hell at first, but you'll likely only have to do it anywhere from one to maybe three or four times, before she sees that you're serious and aren't going to give in to her.
