Most of the men who arrive at this site are repressed. They’ve been beaten into submission my a bullying wife who has threatened to leave them, and they’re desperately trying to nice them into staying.
Your wife is being a complete bully. Refusing to listen to your concerns about timing with telling your son, forging ahead to force the sale of the house.
Why would you apologise to this person? All you’re doing is reinforcing to her that when acts in a shi**y way that upsets you, you’ll eventually roll over and apologise to her. You’ve actually reinforced her bad behaviour by apologising for some home truths. Would you give your dog some treats if they pee on the carpet?
You need to stop living in fear and start being a strong man. Not rude or aggressive or unreasonable, just honest and reasonable and tough in your convictions.
And I have no idea why you’d want to go somewhere with her today. She’s the last person on the earth I’d want to spend any time with.
You’ve walked on eggshells far too long, and where has it got you? MWD says if what you’ve been trying for ages hasn’t worked, do the opposite.
