“Please forgive me for originally saying yes to your request when I should have said no. Because I love you, it brings me so much joy to make you happy. And because I want to be at peace with you and be appreciated by you, I let my desire to please you run ahead of my honest assessment of this situation. But now my anxiety about saying yes is sounding the alarm inside my heart that I made the wrong decision. So I need to make a change here and say no.”
