Starsky, How does it sound like egg-shell walking to you? The point I'm making here is staying with conflict, and getting beyond the surface anger.

Just an overall impression and feeling that oozes from your posts, CL. On the one hand, you are a smart, sensitive, introspective guy who seems to IDENTIFY the fact that you need to look out for your own interests, and draw your personal boundaries in your interactions with a sometimes-unpleasant wife, but I still feel you struggling to do so.
If I get a chance, I'll try to go upthread and look up some specific examples for you.
Any luck initiating/adding some affection to the mix?
