The start of something new???

That's a good point, cbt. Anytime you can 180 a behavior seen as a negative, do it. It can be seen as controlling.

I simply assumed based on the description of betterm's W's behavior that she was the more controlling of the two, and the one used to getting her way. If that truly is the case, giving up the MB would score her a "win" and encourage more of the same, even more aggressive behavior.
