Dealing with a WW trying to save marriage pt2

[burned]

I'm just avoiding conflict at all cost and bettering myself.

That might be your problem right there. When people avoid conflict, the reason for the conflict doesn’t go away. It just goes underground. So don’t avoid it! The best advice I’ve gotten here in the last couple of weeks is to lose the fear and stand up for yourself. Don’t fight back, but don’t back down. State your view of things without invalidating hers. So rather than lashing out with pent up resentment, which appears weak, stand your ground firmly, which appears strong. That earns you respect.
