Pyrite: Eye of the storm?

[Pyrite]

True. SPOUSE will se it as manipulative. validating, listening, changing - all good things - but its always a means to an end for the controlling party. i.e. my way is better, the majority supports this, so this is the way you should go as well - i know i am taking to far perhaps.

please can you comment on how I could have better phrased my SMS, apart from not at ALL. my idea is to in future include her response as the first half of what i am replying toes there is no confusion there?
