Hi guys, my story is similar to most here. I swallowed the pill about a year ago and have been on the self-improvement track ever since.
My situation is this: I've moved back to university this month and since I don't have an apartment yet I've been living with a girl who I'm trying to plate. I started the first night on the couch, but I've been in her bed every night since.
The shit test: Tonight she went out with her flatmate to go to a university event, I've stayed in because I'm knackered and have things to organise. I have an expensive jacket that she likes and asked if she could wear it tonight. I told her several times no after persistent begging, but just before she left she put it on and ran out the door. The mood around the whole thing was lighthearted, but I feel disrespected and want to let her know that this isn't okay.
My plan is this: I'm going to stay calm and not respond to any of her messages from tonight, and when tomorrow comes round I'm going to say calmly and clearly that next time I tell her not to take something of mine, she isn't going to take it.
How does this response seem? Too little? Should I ignore the whole thing altogether? I dont particularly mind that she took it, but it's the disrespect which doesn't sit well with me.
Cheers guys!
