I've been thinking about your latest description with your wife, when she was getting on you about DD5 getting dressed, and treating you like a child, etc., and you then made the comment that you stopped arguing with her, and just got all quiet like... and then she simmered down. Remember that?

Do THAT more. Do THAT all the time with her. Go about your business in your world, and treat her like that all the time. But not in an angry way. Just in a quiet, determined, firm but still approachable kind of way.

THAT type of behavior... is very appealing to the feminine. Whenever you are in doubt, remember the 'DD5/stop acting like a child' exchange, and your subsequent behavior... to remind yourself of what it feels like... and then BE THAT.

Corri, who's wondering if that post was clear as mud.
