Why does someone keep hesitating? Maybe s/he is trying to tell you something? Back off till you know what’s up.
Before blaming others for forcing your hand, take a moment to consider how cooperative you’ve been lately. You may have pushed them to it.
The atmosphere is tense, but ignore it. Sometimes it’s best to let people work out differences for themselves.
There will always be extenuating circumstances. Your task, however, is to determine if they explain or camouflage the truth.
Don’t get too caught up in somebody else’s cause. This person is more resilient than you think and is sleeping through the night more peacefully than you are.
You’ve made your fair share of last minute requests, so why react impatiently when one is made of you? Turnabout is fair play.
