How do you deal with constant nagging?

[Gandalf]

How long have you been together?

Too long!

Married for 5, together for 7. Tbh the relationship stress has only come about in the last month, but except for a few days between the drawn out 'not getting on' we have been having prolonged spells of 'not getting on'.

I mentioned before that I refused to move to England and give up all my part time positions just so she could buff the resume with a bit of overseas experience. And here I am quitting a part time position, leaving a couple of afternoons a week free. Obviously that hasn't impressed her and my function as key money maker has been diminished somewhat. In her head it's probably "his excuse for not supporting me is gone and he still won't budge, therefore I am going to give him hell again". Let's ignore the fact that the school was chaotic and messing me around, but of course, I was supposed to suck it up and just get on with it. So, yeah, back in the doghouse indefinitely until I top my wages back up to her highnesses satisfaction.

Who cares the least, holds the most power.

That's true. It's all such a load of bullshit though. Even without this particular job, I am still earning decent money. Plus we have her income too. I just don't see the need for all the histrionics. How many pairs of shoes can one woman want?

I've been getting angry in return recently and snapping more. It's almost like she will put me down just to get a rise out of me and I guess that means she's won. Yeah, I'm going to chill and not bother with it. Might even finish my classes later and just go out for a beer. Why the devil not, I say!
