I have a question...if I want to go out with friends but not let W know details, what is the best approach?
You get dressed to leave. If she asks questions, you just tell her you are going out. No details. If she continues pushing, you tell her she has your number if there's an emergency. Just remember she may pay you back b/c she won't like not being able to manipulate you. She sounds very spoiled, and if that's the case, it's time to shake things up.
Stop catering to her and cleaning up her messes. Stop treating her as if she's a princess and you are nothing more than a servant. And do not be afraid to stand up to her. If you ever want her to respect you as her H, and desire you as a man.......you will need to change the dynamics in the relationship and the home.
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!
