And whether or not my W respects me is up to her. I worked hard to get to where I respect myself so I don't have to worry about what other people think.
I'm guessing that when your W made that remark, she wasn't trying to be constructive. Did you two ever have a conversation where she told you in a loving way what areas you need to improve upon? Did you take anything from the conversations that you agree with? Was she able to explain herself more thoroughly so that you understood what she was talking about? The phrase "I don't respect you" is too vague to be helpful to you or her.
