Well, just my humble opinion, but I've learned that you can't gauge the 'correctness' of what you speak to and share with anyone, day to day or anytime, on someone else's reactions to it.

If you needed to say what you said in the meeting, then you needed to say it. For yourself. When you don't assert your needs, thoughts and feelings in your most intimate relationships, your self esteem will be the first thing to suffer. And it only goes downhill from there. Trust me, I've been there.

Her reaction - positive or negative - to what you choose to say or do, is irrelevant. The quality of your life requires you to speak your truths, and to trust in them. Believe in yourself AC. If you thought it was the best thing to do for yourself, then it was.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
