Maybe once upon a time you pressured her into giving in to what you wanted. So now you have a hard time believing it won't work again. When you say you pushed too hard the last time, it sounds to me you knew at the time you were pushing but just didn't stop soon enough.
You really have to stop this kind of behavior. Nobody likes for another person to try to force them to do something. You probably never thought of it as force......more like trying to convince her.
She already knows how you feel. Do you really think it is necessary to go through it again? What if you just kept quite and listened to her? Not express your opinion or disagree with her, just listen without interrupting.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
