Is There a Stake in the Ground for You?

I always that's what that's where the feedback about me just saying no came in was because I was again like I actively worked to take things off my plate and then something always gets added by him which is the ironic part. What I ended up deciding last night when I couldn't sleep is I'm just going to start taking myself out of things, he'll probably say okay sounds good so I'm not expecting a lot of resistance but that that was how my first attempt or his last attempt to have that conversation went okay. "It's worth a try for you to put a stake in the ground rather than it because it's clear he trusts you yeah"
