We've all been there. Look through the stories and you'll see how the WS goes through that period of anger. Regain your footing and your dignity. When she starts going off on you, hold your hand up and tell her that you do not appreciate being talked to like that and that you are willing to discuss things later in a more civilized manner. Then walk away. State it in a "matter of fact" way.

After all the validating about how she feels, etc., there are times that you need to give them a bit of reality before they go off too far. My W treated me the same way. So after awhile, I thought, this was getting out of hand, and started to get my nuts back.

Your W married a man. Maybe she wants you to be that MAN again or at the very least you can start being one again for you.

"I tried everything."

No one can ever say that they tried "everything". Start asserting yourself and see what happens.
