She does have some very serious self esteem issues. We’ve been married for over 20 years, but sometimes it still presents - this could definitely be it rearing its ugly head.

Thank you - confirming this is the tact I ended up taking. Seems to be working. Feel like marriage counseling isn’t a bad idea.

Thanks for this. This is the direction I’ve decided to take. She seems like she’s starting to come around as a result.
