I agree with NOP’s advice. I also forgot that at the time I was in the heat of my battle with W, I had already cut off finances, dropped all joint credit cards, contacted a lawyer. So you are sort of fighting with one hand tied behind your back.
Steadfast resolve is unlikely to get her attention in my opinion, even if you do it until the sun burns out. Steadfast resolve is a good character trait. Take her at her word.
Sounds like my wife when she gets mad.
LFL said: I'm trying to put myself in your shoes right now and think, If Mr.LFL told me flat out he was never going to attempt to work on this issue,I'd be a fool to continually expect a different outcome and I would expect him to lose quite a bit of respect for me for putting up with such unloving behavior in the midst of a M. You are in a tough spot. I'm sorry.
MrsHD doesn’t care whether HD has any respect for her. If she did, she never would be doing this. She has cut off her emotions. So the only thing that can persuade her is logic (which she can use to greater advantage) or force (which HD is reluctant to wield). Respect is not even in the game.
Wow, she has really dug in her heels. There is really no compromise in her world on this issue.
Personally I doubt she thinks she has dug in her heels. This is nothing for her. She’s not even close to being pissed yet. I think this is her standard MO, she treats everyone like this, and is just giving HD a little stronger reprimand like she would a kid who has made a repeat offense. Nothing for her to get too upset about, but she just needs to lay down the law.
