No
Such a simple word.
And I usually pride myself on being able to say it.
But I was asked for a favor today, by someone who has been manipulative, plays games, and repeatedly has taken advantage of my kindness and generosity.
I said no, and for some damn reason it was harder than I thought.
But I'm trying to identify unhealthy relationships, and change them, and this one really HAD to go.
Feels like there is going to be some repercussions, but truthfully, they will probably just move on to another easy mark.
