#negativity

First off, you don't have to just accept it. Though the method you describe worked, in general, much as it did for ancient Greece's Lysistrata, it's not a perfect tool for negotiation (as that title character in Aristophanes' play would attest). What you're looking for is respect and an equal footing in your partnership. That's something that you deserve. Every relationship, marriages included, is reliant on communication. Communication patterns and strategies vary person to person and relationship to relationship.
