Retreating into icy silence won’t help. If anything, it perpetuates a vicious cycle. It’s time to speak up about feeling overruled.
It’s in your nature to long for the ideal. It makes you a perfectionist. But you also have to be more tolerant because people come with foibles.
An exchange may be awkward, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that someone is trying to apologize. Be encouraging.
Most people wouldn’t have pursued an association as far as you have, but you see its potential. That belief pays off today.
It feels like you aren’t accomplishing things as hoped, but this reflects expectations and not reality. In truth you’re moving at a clipped pace.
An agreement is an agreement. Refuse to bend and you’ll get what you’re asking for by day’s end.
