I feel like I am in a very similar boat. My wife is very strong willed and amazing at arguing. She will and is walking all over me at the moment and I feel constantly criticised and picked on. If I try and be assertive I am argued with, if I don't i feel like I am gaining no respect. It's very exhausting, so I admire you having the ba!!s to give it a go.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
