I started to not emotionally react to any of the things she did and said. Inside there was still turmoil, but externally I was becoming a rock! And the benefits were nearly immediate. When I stopped reacting like my world was ending I could see her really having second thoughts about her determination to get a D. Eventually even my insides remained as even as the outside!
This is such an important thing to understand, especially for the men.
Say this to yourself over and over: "The first one to emotionally react, loses"
This is universal. It a test of social status. High status people have their emotions under control. It is a desirable trait.
