How do I 180/DB when she is obviously trying to provoke me? I don't think I am supposed to just sit here and take it am I? This my next big battle. Right now I am resolved and will smile and act as though I am ok. But right now, it might not come off as sincere as today I am wounded.
I dont know the specific situation so its hard to say but you could try validating her feelings ie "I'm sorry you feel that way, it wasnt my intention to make you feel that way" or similar - Dont argue, just validate her feelings even if you don't agree.

It sounds like you did REALLY well! Keep it up, even when its difficult and your breaking inside just try to "act as if" and carry on as you were. Well done, keep it up!
How do you feel about it since?
