Thanks, though I'm still working on the better man part, lol.

My W has tried this as well lately and I refuse to take the bait. She's also playing the curious card because I have withdrawn so far. While I never let it evolve into an argument, I will listen to what she has to say, ask her the who's, what's and why's of her thoughts and then try to ensure she knows I paid attention to her, and heard her.
If it's something we can reach middle ground on, so be it. If our opinions are too far out, I tell her I have no intention of getting into any argument and suggest we agree to disagree. But I never just dismiss her.
