R2C,

Thanks for your advice!

She says respect is earned, not given and she doesn’t feel like I am doing anything to earn that respect back. So I am trying to point out what I am doing so that she sees it.

Would you not do that? Do you think she knows but just doesn’t want to say?

Less words is almost always better.
