Call it self respect if it helps you sleep, but the behavior stays the same. You are intentionally withdrawing partnership to cause discomfort and regain control. That is emotional manipulation. Marriage does not mean service on demand, but it does mean consistency in responsibility even when feelings are bruised. Love does not get turned off to make a point.
