Wow.... so she has unhealthy and unproductive communication skills that essentially shut off any productive conversations and prevent them from happening. She won't listen to you. My husband can be similarly frustrating in that regard. I feel your pain. I would confront her with the fact that it's unhealthy and that you and the relationship/marriage are suffering as a result of this broken down communication between you. Just a thought!
