She stated that she has this big feeling in the pit of her stomach that she is just going to get screwed all the way around on this
Red flag, here. Women say this as a way of softening the man. She wants him to assure her he won't do......"whatever". It's her sutle way of guilting him, if he tries to take up for himself in the S/D. She knows he has every right to be legally fair, but she is self entitled and still wants him to treat her as such. It's just more self entitled b.s. She is going to stick it to you every way possible, and still expect you to give her more.
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!
