[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 344713, member: 8869"] Have you tried calmly saying "I can't discuss this calmly until you back up"? I know it sound simple but my husband learned very quickly that if he stood too close to me and was agitated or too assertive he would get his way yet when he stood 3 feet back and had the same attitude I handled it well. Needless to say that little unfair advantage got abused until I called him out on it as soon as it started every time. If he wont listen, which sometimes he doesn't, I'll walk away and into another part of the house. Sometimes he follows me but I'll just keep changing rooms and repeating the same thing over and over again. But I really like plan B! [/QUOTE]
