Try this method of non-confrontational communication.
When you -insert here- it makes me feel like -insert here- next time could we -insert here-.
No raised voices, no attacks, just state what she is doing, how it makes you feel and how to solve that situation.
You say she argues and complains about nothing but it isn’t nothing, people’s feelings are theirs and they have the right to have them. Listen to her really actively listen. And then respond and try to have an intelligent conversation that solves the issue rather than being frustrated and getting nowhere. If she truly isn’t willing to do this, or you aren’t, who knows maybe your personality types just aren’t a match.
When you argue with me it makes me feel bad, can we try to have an intelligible conversation about what you want instead?
I know it sounds a little meh, but it works for me in many areas of life... give it a shot.
Thank you! I will try this
