I only hope that what was said did not ruin my DBing progress to date.
IMHO, you were DBing, b/c of the way you presented it. From her lack of vocal response, I'd say you did a very well job of it.

She is either thinking of the right way to reply, internalizing everything as she has in the past or reflecting on what I had said and realizes that everything I had to say was correct. I know the later is being presumptuous.
She may get around to some type of response, yet. I think you probably shocked her too much to say anything right then. Not that it would stop her, but really, you weren't asking any questions......you were making statements. Quite manly of you, and if I might add.....looks very attractive on you.
As I think I may have already told you, although the WW may not tell you, down deep she respects you for standing up for yourself. When the loving feelings are gone in the WW, about all she will respect is seeing strength in her H. She knows it took courage for you to tell her these things. She may "act" as if she doesn't like it, however, she will respect you for standing up to her.

Today is sunny and bright. Exactly how I feel.
Perhaps b/c your confidence is coming back. I read this from a lot of newcomer H's, how after he finally takes a stand....he feels much better about himself. May not be a pleasant task at the moment, but it tends to make you feel more like a man. And, that confidence is what we women love about you guys.
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!
