The piece you've shared has elements of Denver's situation. The similarity is that YOU have played a serious part in this situation that lead to the situation at hand, and you putting your foot down is just ridiculous if you want to save your marriage.
I wasn't referring to "putting his foot down," db. In fact, much of the advice that Robx gave D&C was for him to AGREE with her, and to look-good/smell-good and drop the rope.
Fighting her on this is only going to build up more resistance and resentment in her, in my opinion.
