They try to make you see theirs. That doesn’t work. You think about what you are saying, you become so passionate that your eyes tear up. They still can’t see it. You try again.
Finally you decide to listen to what they are saying. Some of it seems to resonate with you. You try harder to see if you can change your perspective so that there will finally be peace. That doesn’t work. You still feel you need to get your point across. You try again. And again.
Its important that you reach a common decision. Its probably the most important thing in your life right now. You get agitated at this thought and try to bring yourself back to the discussion, try to be rational, try not to be emotional.
It doesn’t work.
You want to hurt this person. For not getting your point, for not agreeing to something which is clearly so good for them. You try to say things that would sting. Its hurts you too. In fact, it hurts you more. You take a step back and strike again. More pain.
The cycle continues. Its just another day.

>Berating yourself and finding flaw in yourself and the other person will only lead to misery. Maybe step back, give it a little time…? “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson – For some reason this phrase always gives me lots of hope when i face my own crises & calamities in dealing with the people I love. So, take heart! All the issues, personal pits, your current situation, they shall come to pass. Someone upstairs is much bigger and they do care! Hang in there woman!
