Have you followed the advice you both sought out and received in abundance on this forum or have you simply swallowed your self esteem and done what is easiest: Nothing at all?

UPDATE:
It's been 6 months, almost to the day, since that response.
I know this is rare, particularly with 'Anonymous Member' posts, but this is the OP; I reckon based on my rather scathing original post that my actions could be perceived as spineless, but I stuck it out and our relationship has rather dramatically improved.
I think I may have been just taking the 'abuse' I described too seriously, and perhaps myself too seriously as well. Nowadays, if she gives me shit, I try to assume it's just a joke unless I have a reason to believe its not. I think what I thought was rude she thought was just joking and what I saw as her pushing me around was her just trying to get things done. I know, I know.. battered wife syndrome, only it's really not. I'm fundamentally happier, as is she, now that we're free to call each other out on the frustrated bullshit.
Still haven't had sex, but that's really not terribly important for me at the moment, either.
