Good day, question asker. I can see the confusion you are facing, so I extend my support.
How do you express yourself to your wife when you have a difference of opinion?
Please confirm whether you began the sentence with the word "you."
Starting a sentence with "you" can convey a sense of rejection to your wife.
In the future, when expressing your opinion, you may wish to consider starting with the word "I."
For example, "I believe your ideas are also well-founded. You have identified points that I had not considered. Going forward, we should communicate more effectively and strive to resolve any differences in a peaceful manner."
It is also advisable to select a time when both parties are in a calm frame of mind when communicating with your wife.
If you find that your wife is more negative on the day you want to communicate with her, you can try to express it like this: "I was also very busy at work today and I'm very tired, so let's discuss our differences tonight on another day, okay?"
I am optimistic that a solution to the problem you are facing will be reached soon.
I hope these suggestions are helpful.
I hope that my above answer has been helpful and inspiring to you, the questioner. As the answerer, I am committed to studying hard every day.

I can relate to feeling drained when every conversation seems to turn into a onesided argument. It's tough because I also want to preserve the relationship, yet it feels like my efforts are not met with understanding or appreciation.
It sounds like you're carrying a lot of frustration inside. Maybe it's time to open up about how these situations make you feel, using "I" statements to focus on your emotions rather than her actions. That could help in not sounding accusatory.
Avoiding conflict has become a comfort zone for me too. But perhaps this pattern stems from fear of confrontation or wanting peace at any cost. Recognizing this could be the first step toward changing that habit.
The way forward might involve setting boundaries and being honest about what you need from the conversations. If she understands that you're not trying to negate her but simply have different views, it might ease some tension.
I wonder if counseling could provide a neutral space to talk things through. Sometimes having a professional guide the discussion can lead to breakthroughs in communication and mutual understanding.
