Don’t tolerate disrespect —but don’t ask for respect either.
If you have to ask for respect, it’s very hard to respect you.
Just demand it.
If somebody behaves badly, you do not tolerate that behavior.
Maybe that means ending the conversation, leaving the room,
withdrawing a privilege, or making an uncomfortable conversation happen — because you’re not going to let it go unsaid.
Whatever it is, she should always feel like she’s hit an electric fence every time she disrespects you.
There should be a buzz, like:
"Ooh… that wasn’t okay."
It doesn’t have to be a punishment.
Just don’t give false agreement.
Don’t offer the silent treatment.
Don’t suffer behind a fake smile.
Make sure it’s known that you didn’t like something.
If she calls you too sensitive, say: “Well, I guess I’m too sensitive then — learn to work around it.”
Be honest at all times.
That’s the tip of the spear.
If you can just be honest all the time, it destroys the “happy wife, happy life” myth.
Because to keep a woman happy permanently, you’d have to lie to her.
Nobody’s happy with the truth all the time.
If you give the truth all the time, eventually you're going to cause a range of emotions.
So if you just fixate on being honest, everything else will follow.
