But.. You can choose to avoid fights as much as possible. You can say in a quiet voice, I don't want to fight with you, but I can't agree to what you are saying / doing, etc..
You do not need to yell, lose your temper, fight, etc. All these things are soley in your court. Your choice. Your wife does not control your temper, your responses. Only you do.
over the years, my fighting and yelling achieved nothing. FACT
So logically I shouldn;t do it, right? I guess I enjoy fighting yelling etc. because I feel that I am making a point. A pointless point, but a point nontheless.
Huh. Now I write this down and read it back to myself, I am an idiot.
My friend,
Keep it up... Your shteiging....
Not only that, but in Shamayim they smile at little (yet very big..) steps like these...
Remember Yehuda's Big accomplishment...?
He said: Tzodka Mimenie...
Also their are so many meaningful fulfilling alternatives to make a mark, be heard, etc.
It is so worth it to search out these things...
Believe me the alternatives are much more satisfying...
P.s. we are all 'idiots' in some way... or we wouldn't be here...
