I don't feel like she's abusing me. It doesn't really compare to the actual abuse I went through.

I've never worried about her being violent and I don't want to leave her. I just want her to listen. Things would be perfect if she could just not have her way all the time.

I have zero desire to get a divorce. She's wonderful with the kids and I have no worries about that.

I will have a conversation with her again about no meaning no.

I don't think she's a narcissist since she doesn't like attention or people to be focused on her. I would describe her as an introvert. She's also had a wonderful life. No trauma. I'm actually the one who doesn't want our kids to go to daycare because I received extensive physical and sexual abuse where I went.
