“I don't like to talk about my exes and sex life”

My wife kept asking about my exes and sex life despite my repeated requests to stop, leading to a huge argument and her refusal to apologize.

What I wish I knew
"That she would respect my boundaries and not push the issue so aggressively."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate your boundaries clearly and assertively, and be prepared to walk away if they're not respected."
