Still learning the MB stuff. I thought asking him to spend less time with his daughter would count as a "selfish demand".


A selfish demand is something that comes with threat of punishment - moodiness or tears or anger.

It is imperative that she ask to be his first priority (for the marriage's sake not for selfishness) and she should do this as a respectful request. i.e. he is not punished for refusing. However she should keep the issue on the front burner not allowing it to be brushed aside.



What would you do if you were not afraid?
