Communication is the key. Work things out or walking away may just be the best thing you do, before things get worse.
“I can’t control your behavior; nor do I want that burden… but I will not apologize for refusing to be disrespected, to be lied to, or to be mistreated. I have standards; step up or step out.”
— Steve Maraboli
