AI Thread Summary

Women, huh? Can't live with them, can't successfully refute their hypotheses.

I'm normally the driver, trip planner, and chief engineer on the "women are crazy" train, but I think the way you rejected her offer was rude. Then when you said "you can still eat breakfast" it showed how little you understood about the situation.

I think if you had said "Sorry babe, I could really use some extra rest, perhaps we can do breakfast another time?" things would have gone better.

You were the one who behaved wrong in this situation, and you damaged yourself pretty badly here.

You should have just said "Sorry, I can't go. Maybe some other time". That's it. You didn't have to rationalize why going out to breakfast was a bad idea.

Jack, my longterm advice is just stop eating breakfast all together. It makes it a lot easier when dealing with situations like this, and it is healthier to eat less frequently in a day. Good for morning awareness, weight loss, hormonal health, detoxifying the body, and on top of that people won't ask me to wake up early to eat breakfast because I don't eat until afternoon. Just be careful with the timing, since she may think it's a reaction to her and get furthered annoyed with you.

The trick is to make less opportunities for them to get mad at you. Like here maybe something like, "Maybe we should leave extra room to enjoy the food at the fair". Also you done goofed with that last line. While I think she's not being direct and that's a big problem, you might need to be a bit more direct as well, and if she's not understanding then that's her problem and not hers. Also tell her that you would like her to be direct about things because you are trying to be direct, and she's not effectively communicating with you. So, in short either she becomes more direct or you become more indirect.
