do you agree with things you dont like just to have peace?

I too tend to be a passive person like that sometimes. I see it as compramise. In many cases, it is no big deal to me. I'd rather let small things go and just live in peace. There are occasions though where you shouldn't let people walk all over you. Some people will take advantage of this and keep doing it. Inthat case, you should stand up for yourself, politely if you can. If someone borrows something, it should be returned eventualy. It is after all, yours.

hi rubi i appreciate u so much its not cause ur coward it shows how good ur at heart. ur very generous. ur genorosity helps u to see the other person's view point also n u accept it. like ur husband most of us r not able to do this. thats actually our draw back u know if the world had been filled with people like u ,it would have been a paradice. I admire u please dont give up this good nature. i knw u cant cause ur born with that a rare gift from god

there are times that i do that, too, just to maintain harmony but most of the time, being the strong-willed person that i am, i usually speak out about things that i feel strongly about. sometimes, it leads to more arguments and sometimes i'd feel bad afterwards but that's who i am.....

Yes i too am this way but for me its with my husband. Sometimes not all the time i find it easier to agree with him or just put what i am feeling aside just to keep the peace. He can sometimes blow things right out of proportions so to avoid the big fight i just relent. But if has something to do with the older two kids i will not back down. He thinks that because they are teens they must be doing something wrong. I make sure he knows how i feel on that subject. A lot of other smaller issues i just say OK whatever and the whole thing passes. This works most of the time.

well you should stand up and speak your mind but at the same time you have to pick your battles wisely. i give in alot with hubby and not cause i dont want to fight but because he does the same for me. now as far as my neighbors go yea i will say something and i just try to be nice about it. if all else fails though i will be point blank. that is me and the way i am. just dont let people run you over find your voice and use it. you might see you feel better too. now if it is something small and it doesnt matter then let it go but if it is something that bothers you speak up. you cant please everyone all the time you can only please some some of the time. its ok to say what you feel it doesnt always mean there will be a fight you just have to figure out the best way to say it. how you would want it said to you.

hey i have always done this. i hate fighting with someone. So for the peace sake, i have sacrificed many things. i love harmony. i cant even stand people fighting around me. no , u are not a coward. its just that you are a decent person, not putting silly fights with people....
