That's interesting the way you put it: "I refuse to let my W show me disrespect." In other words, she can throw a tantrum and turn blue, but you won't allow her to disrespect you. I like it. Having this viewpoint requires you to have a high level of self-respect. I have to admit, as much as it bothered me when my W was having her pout, I enjoyed not having to talk to her. I guess you have to find the silver lining.
