Do you think there's a way to enforce your boundaries without withdrawing like you did though? It doesn't sound like either of you communicated much afterwards. How can you negotiate a better marriage if you don't talk with her through such conflicts?


Not much R talk right now. Working silently on things.

She has never meen much of a talker. Her actions speak for her. That's what I'm dealing with. I have called her out on the occasional irresponsibility. No need to repeat myself. She knows when she misbehaves. She has been trying but that does not mean I should let it slip. She knows very well how she has disappointed me in the past.

No, we did not communicate about this afterwards at all. In fact I don't want to talk about it. I will be certain that tonight she will make up for it without speaking a word and I will make sure I reward her good behavior.

It's strange but it works that way.
