I am scared that our argument this morning is a major setback. I am just standing up for myself and not being Mr Nice Guy. The minute she didn't get everything she wanted she lashed out at me.
I'm trying to focus all of my efforts on recon, so this argument probably slowed that process. And that hurts.
It's not a setback. It's a move forward for both of you. You get to stand up for yourself, and she gets to see what life will be like without you. Lashing out at you is her attempt to keep you feeling guilty.
It's counterintuitive, but the harder you try, the worse your results are going to be. Let it go.
