Don’t worry about the past or what you did or didn’t do. Won’t make a hoot of difference.

You needed to tell her. She didn’t ask for you to tell her. That’s a big difference.

If you ask what she needs from you and be perceptive;
H: “you seem frustrated, is that how you are feeling?”
W: “yes I’m very frustrated”
H: “That must be tough. What do you need?”

She may then return serve and ask you how you feel about it. Then you can tell her mild mannerly how it upset you. None of that is pushover behavior. It’s just being a kind human being that shows emotional intelligence and empathy.

Being a pushover is when she calls you a worthless POS and tells you to get the F out and you lower you head in shame and say “yes my love. Tell me when to come home Princess. Can I get you anything while I’m out that will make things more comfy for you here in the palace?”
