ive been working on keeping my word. not because im an outright liar, but because doing what i say is important.
i have a new roommate. the smell of her cooking bothers me. i let her know and said this may not work out, you may need to move out. we talked. i felt better after we talked. once we talked, i waited about 5 days. the smell really continued to bother me. i told her she needed to move out.
she agreed and we are working that situation out.she did point out however, that i went back on my word, i said the situation would be resolvable and 5 days later said i cannot stand the smell, you need to move out.
i feel badly because i did go back on my word. however, i am very sensitive to smells. i could not have tolerated it much longer. it was making the living environment aweful.
maybe what i should have done differently is not given my word that it would be resolvable. i should have just said lets see how things go, we will work on it.
i guess its a sign of how much i wanted things to be ok, that i gave my word that we would resolve it.
