Question: 

We are almost 7 months from discovery, my unfaithful wife is very impatient with me when I bring up my feelings about what she has done. She gets very defensive, interrupts and will not listen to me. She wants to dominate and control the conversations, which usually leads to stonewalling on my part because I don't feel safe. Also she is not able to be empathetic because of her resentment of me. How do I deal with this?
