[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 742843, member: 23349"] Sadly very typical! It’s tough but I’ve learned not to take it personally and just roll with wherever they’re at. I’ve also learned to give very cheerful, non-defensive no’s to things that don’t work for me and not get drawn into negotiations or explanations. Just nope, I’m afraid that doesn’t work for me, you’ll have to figure something else out! And end the conversation if they start to argue. It would be nice if they thought about my needs but I don’t expect it and therefore am not hurt when it doesn’t happen. I look to others in my life for those needs. [/QUOTE]
