Ok ladies, pls give your thoughts on this.......
So I'm a 'mature' lady and my confidence has grown tremendously in the last 5 yrs I would say. I know , and its been noted , that my behaviours have really changed in this time. I have much firmer boundaries ,I know what my negotiables/non-negotiables are etc I am assertive when I need to be and I will most definitely stand my ground and say no on certain things.
I have noticed , 3 examples with different men, one being my hubby, the other a friend and the 3rd a work colleague, tension is in the air. The commonality being I have called them out on a thing or two and they don't like it one little bit. In the past I would have kept quiet or bought into their version of events. Not so much now, I see a different perspective and am not afraid to express my differing opinion.
BUT I still feel 'rejected' ,as all 3 men are behaving more distant towards me now. This doesn't feel nice at all, yet I believe in and value my perspective and I WILL express it. What can I do?
