npub1sre0wuqsrck68ycschkt47u55wg9rht0akadhtavjp3kjpkuysdsgamny9 (npub1sre…mny9) npub18ljjwuh8vt0lrh3fe3vsefddt40u297gtsk3d4v4ywhjnvms9zfqy480hq (npub18lj…80hq) I feel like I grew up in some distorted version of "guess culture" where my parents would give me orders disguised as requests, and it would anger them if I said "No". Fearing for my safety was not a valid reason to say "No", because they were adults and knew better -- except they frequently didn't.

It's still hard to deny a request, or ask anything of my partner. She's amused on the rare occasions I ask her to bring me a glass of water or something like that.
