I understand where you're coming from, but I still believe that calmly addressing the issue is the best approach. It's worked for us all these years, hasn't it?

I see your point. Maybe I could work on finding a balance between being nonconfrontational and standing up for myself when necessary.

That would be great. I think it's important to be able to voice your opinions and concerns when needed.
