Weren't you warned this would happen? I think you will see her pull several things out of bag of tricks, before this all dies down.
Actually, she is the one who is manipulating here. IMHO, the number one manipulation women use the most is to show their man she is not happy with his actions. Apparently, from what I have seen on the board, it works fairly well.
If you give in b/c she is angry at you, then you will lose this ground you've covered during the NC.
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!
