I think it will convince her he is a selfish male who does not care about her feelings at all, while at the same time giving her a sense of satisfaction that she has defeated and run off this man.
That last part I don't get at all. I highly doubt she would feel satisfaction about HD leaving.

put her into super defense mode.
That I agree with. Any strong willed person is going to get defensive and self-protect. I sure did. But it's all a process. I'm not saying she will immediately see the light so to speak. I'm just saying that taking this drastic measure will most likely get him closer to where he ultimately wants to be in a much shorter frame of time. Perhaps a few years instead of 25 or how about never.

I think he needs to stand his ground with her to set his boundaries, create respect, pull back his lost power, and even the playing field to get to a position that he can go toe to toe with her if necessary. But the reason for that battle is not to threaten and scare her, but to cause her to confront her own insecurities. HD then steps to step on the other side of that fine line and offer her the security she really wants. She needs to respect that he is fighting for her.
That is a LOT to work on with a woman who is a real ball breaker. I'm not putting HD down here but I don't see him being the type of guy who has it in him to take the Cobra approach. And frankly Cobra, I don't think you have the same type of M that many people on this board are trying to achieve. You admit to lack of love in your M. I would never accept that and I don't think HD wants that either. He can stay and butt heads with her til the cows come home but what will that really accomplish. I predict HD continues to run in circles with MrsHD until she is FORCED to take a different perspective. Maybe giving her a little insecurity about the R is just what she needs to stop being such a PITA. Not that I have any personal experience with any of this or anything. LFL
