Again interesting
I always heard about that ignore her stuff, but when I address the bullshyt like you said it does get ugly but in the aftermath I get the feeling that they respect me more
Tricky subject
Rather than ignore her, learn how to use relationship judo or jiu jitsu. Remember that everything y'all do is an energy exchange. She needs to know that she can't fukk with you when y'all spar.
Instead of just reacting when she pushes your buttons, immediately take a deep breath and get a feel for why she's testing you or what's really going on. That's impossible to do if you get caught up in what she's saying more than feeling the energy of why she's fukking with you to begin with.
This shyt is a sport, nikka
Make your reads and then dig into your bag of tricks. For example:
1. She's being bratty but not egregiously disrespectful.
You could "flip her on her head" with verbal judo and hit her with some playful slick shyt that shows that you're not affected by what she's throwing your way, so you're not going to dignify it by making an issue out of it, but you GIVE some good energy back anyway in the form of your charisma or sense of humor.
This is a matter of personality and knowing your woman, and don't be afraid to take the L and make mistakes when building your bag of tricks. I personally find that audacity is always good. Being cocky and funny works, like telling her you're going to spank her with her momma's hot comb if she keeps talking trash.
Say something sexist that makes her jaw drop. That half-smile/half-gasp from you saying something audacious takes 90% of the fight out and will probably make her horny.
2. She's being complainy and unreasonable and treating everything you do like it's wrong
You can PLAYFULLY make the whole shyt out to be ridiculous.
Your girl: You never put the clothes up the right way
You: (obviously playful) I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY OK
OR
fukking tickle her or make noises on her stomach with your mouth or play fight her. Anything that lets you use alchemy to change her energy to a different emotion.
But with that said, read into the situation and also let her know that you hear her concern if it's a legit one.
Playfight and tickle her, and then when she's at that moment of squealing and playfully calling you an a$$hole hit her with:
You: I could put the clothes up a little better. You trying to teach me something

3. She's just being mean or unreasonable for the fukk of it
First, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND GET UNEMOTIONAL. Emotion feeds her emotion and makes her more powerful. You don't have the emotional capacity that she does and that shyt will burn you out and leave you gassed. Make her "fight" on your terrain.
Then, ask her some questions to take the steam out.
You:
That's interesting. Why do you feel that way?
This doesn't feel like love. What are you trying to communicate to me, right now?
I didn't know we were fighting. Was that the best way to express yourself?
EYE CONTACT. EYE CONTACT. EYE CONTACT.
If you're solid and on your square that'll take most of the steam out and then let you ask more questions to extract what's really going on. i.e. -- she's really mad because she thought you said something rude at dinner last night or feels scared or uncomfortable about something in the relationship. Keep her on the conversation by making it your goal to see what needs to be resolved in the big picture, rather than going back and forth like a detective trapping each other in semantics to "win" the argument.
BUT if she doubles down being argumentative, DON'T RUN. Stand firmer on your square and get even more calm, and keep eye contact. If you have problems keeping calm eye contact in the face of her being a brat then you got some internal work to do while bettering yourself as a man.
The key is to FIRMLY assert your boundary, while framing it out of self-love and letting her know that you're sniping the fukk out of her action, but not shutting the door on her as a person. Just make it clear that if she wants open arms, sunny days and the benefits and blessings of your kingdom, it's only if she checks herself.
Your girl: HELL YEAH I'M MAD AND YOU JUST GONNA HAVE TO TAKE IT FOR HOW STUPID YOU WERE ACTING AT DINNER LAST NIGHT
You:

You've given me a lot to think about, but check this out...
I can't tell you what to say or how to say it, but it's against my personal boundaries to let anybody talk to me that way. Aside from that,
I love you too much to play the role of the wack nikka that's going to sit here and go back and forth with you when we could just talk. Next thing you know we'll be in this bytch arguing until the cops get called, and we both deserve better than that corny shyt.
You grown. I can't make you communicate with me effectively if you don't want to
I'm dedicated to building this kingdom with you if you're trying to live the good life, and that means listening to your feedback and correcting myself as a man when necessary. But if you can't meet me halfway and respect this boundary then like I said ... You've given me a lot to think about

If she still wants an argument, unemotionally hit her with the broken record:
Her: WELL IF YOU DIDN'T fukk UP I WOULDN'T HAVE TO TALK TO YOU LIKE THIS!
You: Even still. This is my personal boundary and I won't budge on it
Her: YOU ACT LIKE YOU SO PERFECT! WHAT ABOUT THE TIME YOU CAME AT ME SIDEWAYS!!!
You: You could be absolutely right. But this is my personal boundary and I won't budge on it

All in all bruh, women test you to see if you're the man you say you are. Rather than disengage, stay in the pocket, read the situation and let her know she can't fukk with you on any level with what she's trying to do, OR read the situation and figure out what she needs in the moment if she has legitimate issue, but redirect her to express it in a way that is best for everyone involved.
It's a lot easier to do when you ACTUALLY are centered on your purpose and not swayed by the bullshyt because you ACTUALLY know that you're better than the bullshyt. By enforcing a boundary like a man in control of himself and his environment, or just showing her your mettle by staying playful and not giving her an argument just because SHE wants one, you pass the "test" and level up. If you get caught in emotional back and forths or otherwise let her knock you off your square, you lose points.
When you just ignore her, you break even at best. When you stand tall in the face of the battle and re-route the energy on your terms, you're taking a moment to show LEADERSHIP, which is the best currency you can have in your relationship with your woman and is much better than breaking even.
Disclaimer -- Once you learn to not be affected by this shyt and see it for the test it is, it's like the Matrix and you'll judo her with one hand tied behind your back and those panties will start getting wetter and wetter
Live this shyt, be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personal, and never be afraid to take an L
