[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about asking her to go to counseling?
How often do you fight? how long does she ignore you for? [/quote]

It's not always necessarily a fight, just a disagreement. For example (this is made up but indicative), I might say we should buy a new car because the maintenance is too high. She would say she doesn't want to buy a new car because she doesn't want a car note. For her, the conversation stops there.

Whereas, I would want us to compare maintenance costs vs. a new car note, discuss leasing as an option, discuss when she might be open to having a car note, etc.
I wouldn't say we were initially arguing, just disagreeing. I might even be open to changing my mind. [/quote]

I agree with the marriage counseling suggestion. There's no way for us to know from this hypothetical what's going on, it could be that this is simply how she handles conflict and her ignoring you a fundamental problem with her willingness to hear different opinions, seek compromises, not have total control over decisions, etc. But it also could be that you're the one who's overly controlling and unyielding, and she's learned that the only way to avoid being browbeaten for having a different opinion is to simply not engage.[/quote]
