Thanks to everyone who contributed to my last question in this sub. It was very helpful, and I'm still learning. There's further background in the post history, but basically I'm a career beta who often gets stumped from the dumbest shit, like not knowing when to STFU.
I've got another newbie question for the forum: how do I deal with this question "Why do you love me so much?"
It's often asked after we've had some disagreement, let's say I've criticized her for overspending from our savings again. Obviously she will never admit she's wrong (and there's no point in me trying to convince her of that, right?), but at some point after we've had our discussion she will spring that question on me.
Is it a comfort test? Or is she trying to draw me back into her frame as a puppy dog beta?
What should my response be? Should I reassure her (of course I love you), ignore her, or make my dissatisfaction with her behavior more explicit (e.g. I'm not going to love you if you keep overspending). Keep in mind I'm still fuming at her financial impulsiveness and trying my best to control my emotions and not to blow it up into a bigger fight.
Many thanks in advance, you guys are the best.
