[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would “taking the bait and rewarding her behavior” look like?  [/quote]
Arguing and yelling in response rather than walking away if I had to guess. What else would it be? [/quote]

[b]I would guess it would be listening to whatever she is upset about[/b], trying to empathize, and taking responsibility for whatever part he had to play.

Or giving her a break, making dinner for her and the kids, and letting her take a walk or go to the gym or do whatever she needs to do.

Why would yelling at someone be a reward?  [/quote]

She denied being upset at anything. You calling OP's wife a liar? That's harsh. [/quote]

That’s not true.  She said that she was upset that he didn’t heat up dinner for her.  He could have tried to empathize and apologize for hurting her feelings.

That’s what I would consider “rewarding her” anyway.  Why would yelling at your spouse be a reward?  [/quote]

The dinner was later in the evening. Wife denied being upset four times when OP got home. (Assuming he's a reliable narrator.)[/quote]
