You cannot live in a continued state of self defence. It only makes her worse. A confident man would not feel he had to explain himself. A hen pecked H does, and to her it looks the same as weakness. Many men are just trying to keep things calm and keep her from blowing a fuse. Does not work with a WW or WAW. You cannot respond the way you are in a habit of doing. She has changed and you have to change how you deal with tbese tbings.
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!
