[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're talking about giving up on a relationship because a friend wanted to invite two extra people? "Sigh," indeed. [/quote] No, but shes talking about giving up her thanksgiving plans because of different levels of fear or safety concerns. That cant be something she can mourn without your criticism?[/quote] Sure, but that's not how it read. It read like she was irritated and annoyed that her friend wanted to include her brother, and then she started talking about friendships withering. I think the discomfort is in talking plainly and clearly about expectations. "Oh, Marsha, I'm sorry. I'm not comfortable having people outside our bubble [assuming it's a true bubble, and you aren't socializing with other people, too] at Thanksgiving. I understand if you want to have it with your brother; we can have a meal another time." Her post read like exasperation, not mourning. Apologies if I misread. [/quote]
