The Situation

"She promised to try my holiday traditions then refused last minute"

The Brutal Truth

Her promise was just words. Refusing at the last minute means she’s either uninterested or lacks respect for your values. Don’t ignore this; it’s a clear sign you deserve better than being an afterthought.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might beg for an explanation or try to convince her to change her mind, believing they need to prove their worth. This only reinforces toxicity and lack of respect, so it’s time to break that cycle.

💭 Something to Reflect On

How often do you prioritize someone else's comfort over your own needs and traditions?
