For me, I simply say what I want, explain my position on it, the same way she did. Say, the ball's in your court. You need to be prepared to act either way. Whatever you do, if you make a threat like I'll walk out if you.... you need to he prepared to do just that. If you don't make good on your threat, your life with her will be on a continuous downward trajectory forever.
Be careful: you need to think clearly about what you want. It's ok to make demands but you need to follow through. Both of you bring something to the table. You need to know what you're bringing. You need to know what she's bringing. Negotiate. If you're not bringing enough, then you need to prepare for that too.
Good luck.
