The Mirror and the Wall

In a relationship, my partner mirrors the places I need to grow, and is the wall I need to push against.

And a real gem from Shaina: When someone tells you "no", he has just saved you from spending an evening with someone who really didn't want to be there! Or from a fruitless (frustrating) conversation with someone who is unable to give you the attention you need at that moment. That is to say, he (or she) is doing you a favor by telling you "no". Brilliant!

Oh, absolutely ... there is absolutely no sense in trying to shoehorn someone into a time or place that they really don't want to be.

Yet somehow I can twist that little two-syllable word into rejection on a huge scale: "what's wrong with ME???"
