[quote=Anonymous]There have been two significant events that impact our DC’s life (ex, school choice) where my spouse argued vigorously against my views and ultimately relented and let me make the decision, albeit begrudgingly. After a year or so spouse is delighted with the decision. In another situation, I backed off and let spouse make the decision. 3 years later, someone else in spouses social circle makes the same recommendation that I made to spouse 3 years previously about a sports program DC is attending. When I remind my spouse that I had reached the same conclusion 3 years earlier and also made the same exact recommendation—doesn’t want to hear it. Claims not to remember. AND, too boot, DC has been lagging behind in developing skills in the particular sport.

I couldn’t keep quiet. What does spouse say, I shouldn’t be looking to blame someone. I was saying that we should question why DC’s current program wasn’t up to par and get an explanation. Nope, spouse just wants to deflect and get pissy with me. Why does spouse not take my recommendations seriously, belittle me for even having an opinion and then when the program is clearly deficient not want to take responsibility for THEIR decision?! It’s maddening. I can’t be playing around with DC’s future.

This has played out a handful of times, and when I’m tired of having to be the "understanding” spouse.

Is there another way than just always forcibly getting one’s way? I use logic and examples to make my points, but spouse just wants to be right and that’s it. I can be persuaded but I won’t be bullied.[/quote]
