You’re being bullied into complying. Play along for now, but don’t commit to anything. Letting this person believe he’s won buys you time.
Now that you’ve gained what you sought, you discover a whole new batch of consequences. It’s still better than the same old same old.
Some people are under the mistaken impression that they achieved their ends on their own. It’s time to remind them of the part you played.
After weeks of back and forth, a goal is finally in sight. You’ll be happy to revel in your accomplishment – and to get a good night’s sleep.
Forcing someone to say yes before they’re ready is never a good idea. You’ll only regret it. If you really can’t wait on their answer then say so and move on.
It may not look like it at first, but the other party is making a peace offering. Accept unconditionally. You won’t get this chance again.
