Steph,
Before when the M was "normal", what was the usual patterns to your discussions where you held opposite POV's? Would you give in to her or would you change your stance after considering her POV? Was it that she mostly conceeded to you? If she becomes confrontational about changing your mind, consider doing a 180. If the pattern was you usually didn't meet eye to eye on discussions, then consider repling to the effect, that you recently been thinking about what she has said and have realized she made some valid points.

Darn I had more to say, but have to go.
