I think this is yet another example of what another HN commenter recently called "ignoring the considerable power you wield over other people and expecting them to ignore it too."
Guess what, power matters in relationships.
> It wasn't a decision I made overnight. It wasn't even my decision. We talked about it on several occasions.
Is she really saying it wasn't her decision because they talked about it on several occasions, it was somehow a mutual decision? Bullshit.
You don't get to keep all the power, but then expect that in your interactions with people it won't matter, it'll be just like relationships between peers or equals.
