MIrroring is the best approach. Do exactly what they do. When they pick u up on it , they've fucked emselves.
Or it's passive-aggressive, you know. Like, she elevates herself but pretends that's not her motivation.
I have been doing some experimentation with my behaviour and I have found that the best way to retain my power in our relationship is to act erratically and unpredictably. Just when she thinks I am sympathetic towards her, I will make a scathing comment about how I don't really give a shit about what she is saying, and then to break the silence several minutes later I will make a kind gesture or remark. I do all of this without any emotion so she cannot say that I am "moody". She is baffled. Its wonderful. I am glad I have come across this skill. To all the people that said "be nice". I am nice. I tried it for months, but she is like the weather upon a rock, she slowly wears you down.
nah, I am just examining the situation you are in. maybe I am just cynical, and bitter. but I think I am right.
I didn't think you were serious, seeing as I haven't said anything about who she is. She sounds like either kath or kim, or both. She is in her mid 30s and wears a lot of make up. You would probably need a NASA crew to navigate your way through her vagina. She is currently divorced. Also, she has an air of dignity about her, which I kind of respect. She would never hit on me because I am far too beneath her.
She is quite intelligent and kind of above that sort of thing. Which makes her worse because she has intellectual excuses to justify the blackness of her heart.
