From my perspective, there are two basic ways to chip away at entitlement.
Engage in activities that build respect for the disrespected partner.
Expose the entitlement for what it is.
There is a lot of mix and potential opportunities, some great, some small, to chip away at someone's inappropriate entitlement. Thinking creatively might show up an opportunity that you are missing because your feelings are hurt.
Stepping away from your anger and resentment (not just you, Lou, anyone) is a really good first step toward enabling you to see missed opportunities.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
