#14 Here we go again

All the very best of luck Steve! Hoping the recent crisis was just a nasty little aberration mate. If your wife is fiery this could explain the defiance when confronted, then the subsequent backdown. Keep going until you can’t anymore! Cheers D

Thanks for the support DS9! My W Can be fiery when she feels backed into a corner. I tried to confront as lovingly as I could, did so firmly. I even called her out on her defiance. Which seemed to take her aback. She tends to try to deflect when confronted about something, but usually comes back later contrite and apologetic. And that's the pattern she followed in this instance as well. Of course, she also came back with "he really didn't mean anything", so some typical script following as Sandi pointed out. Another thing that stood out was when I asked her in a follow-up discussion how long it had been going on, she responded with a very quick "about 3 weeks". As if she rehearsed that answer. She usually has to think about questions like that.

This is why you always have to remember "believe nothing they say, and only half of what they do".
