finding an acceptable ballance is a constent struggle for me she always wants to exist more he's mostly happy as long as I keep the beard and suppress her emotional response a little.  No crying in public.  Other wise he pulls me down,  but if need to I can work out a compromise on the spot, eg kick a tree and cry is ok pretend I'm angry to let him exist.  Do what you need to to survive and be true to your needs as a whole person sometimes she wants make-up sometimes he is against it.  a constant balancing act but it works.  Good luck at finding your balance
