I understand there may be times to just ignore something you may not like. However, the problem about just ignoring something she says or does that shows disrespect is that she only sees it as you being passive. For a nice-guy type, ignoring the issue is not very successful in a long term R.
A lot of couples live out the rest of their years in that type of environment. I hope you choose not to live that way.
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!
