You know the saying, Something borrowed, something blue?
Well, borrowing something for aweddingmight sound romantic, until its your beloved dress on the line.
And lending one out?
Thats a level of generosity not all of us are ready for.
Instead, she called Sarah crying and asked to borrow her wedding dress.
A firm, unapologetic No.
Amanda didnt take the rejection well.
Sharing Barbies is one thing, but abridesdress?
Thats a whole different story.
And, when she politely said no, again, her stepdad accused her of being selfish.
Despite feeling guilty, Sarah decided to confront Amanda in person at a coffee shop.
She calmly explained why she couldnt lend her the dress and even offered alternatives.
I dont know about you, but Id be furious at this point.
Internet, one slow clap for Sarah, like.
But why do some folks just not take no for an answer?
Well, theprossuggest that theyre driven by entitlement or desperation, like our friend, Amanda.
Her relentless pursuit of Sarahs dress is a classic example of not respecting boundaries.
So, whats the playbook for dealing with someone who wont let it go?
First, be clear and firm.
Repeating yourself can feel exhausting, but consistency is key.
If the pushback continues, dont be afraid to escalate.
Sometimes youll need to involve neutral parties or step away entirely, as Sarah did.
Remember, saying no is about protecting your peace, not being mean.
And if they still dont get it?
Well, thats on them, not you.
