I know that when I go through a tough time like what just happened yesterday re: D8 and W, I feel like just giving up but once I calm down I can see that there is more at play here than W flexing her muscles.
It's just that sometimes, when I stop and regain control of my emotions, although I know I'm doing the right thing, it feels like I'm just enabling her to walk all over me. I feel like she might actually be losing respect and that a tough stance might reverse this. On the other hand, I'm pretty confident that if I did offer an ultimatum now, it would spell the end of this marriage.
Thanks for reminding me to be patient.
