I had a girlfriend that once asked me, 'why wouldn't I do more of what she tells me to do?' I looked at her and said that if I did that, I'd be more like her and less like me. I felt very good about where I was in life then and did not see any compelling need or desire to live more her lifestyle.
Was she right for making her point or was I wrong for making mine. Did I really want a piece of this?
Your thoughts?
I think your point was made very well.
ReplyDeleteHi leepricejohnson,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment.
For the purpose of discussion, isn't a relationship built on a mutual respect and outreach to each other's lives? Some might say that my point was insensitive and self-absorbed. Was I being unreasonable to not at least attempt to reach a better understanding with her?
