I was right about her not understanding our financial situation. She said she thought the car was much closer to being paid off, and didn't realize how much other debt there was. She seems to realize my job situation is perilous (it always is with the outsourcing of computer jobs anyway) and that I'm not necessarily going to be a permanent source of income.
I think she also notices my attempts to respond differently - she calls it "rationalizing" and "not "listening." Not sure if that's standard fare for the WAS/MLC spouse to reply to the LBS, but it seems about right. :-/
