Thanks guys!!!! Is there anyway of backpedalling on this without sounding like an ass...?
HINT:
Until you care more about "doing The Right Thing" than you do about "sounding like an ass," you will get NOWHERE.
Robx has given you the script. Nowhere in there do I see him advocating you be an ass. Whether or not your wife things you SOUND like one, or are BEING one, is not your problem. Deliver the above calmly, nicely, and matter-of-factly. If she argues with you, tell her "I'm sorry you feel that way. This is what I've decided is best for me right now."
