May be helpful to apply with the AA 12 Step:


THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Request for derogatory comments by others, to be more positive.

You have good ideas, can you find a less critical wording to express your idea?

You seem to have come to a conclusion on this matter, is there any way you could consider my input?


//
 
Does this involve a large sum of money, or is there some principle involved in your need for control?

Are there any terms, which can be negotiated in this matter?
 
How does this measure against the amounts of money you spend from joint accounts?

What are the perks and privileges that can be conditioned on these concepts of control?

Is creating a criticizing atmosphere one of your bargaining points?

How can I add value to the equation with which you are unhappy?
