Me " You lost your tv remote controls, and you can't control your cable box with your tv remote anyway... It's like you trying to use the key to your toyota to start your honda because you lost the key to your chevy"

Her "You're always such an a...ho... about this stuff.

"I'm sorry, but I have to differ with you. I HAVE THE SOLUTION. You HAVE TO DO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU TO DO or you won't have any improvement. Why am I an a..ho.. when I have delivered to you EXACTLY THE STEPS NEEDED to solve the problem and you won't do your part?"

Then, turn it to something she has expertise in, and:
"If I asked you for help with a problem I'm having with... canning cherries... and you told me EXACTLY what to do, but I kept making the mistake I had been making... would that be your fault?"
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
