| I don't stop being me for the sake of her. If I think she's wrong, I say so. We argue and I don't back down unless it is becoming a problem or she proves me wrong. I don't fawn, I don't suck up, I don't grovel. I do try to be polite, accommodating when I can be, giving, caring, sharing... But not blindly and not obsessively and not at the loss of who I am. The e-mail was to try to explain to her how I felt, and why that precluded being "just friends" because she obviously didn't feel the same way. I was trying to impress on her how strongly I felt about it, but I still don't think she gets it. |
