Hi Liese,

Those parallels are interesting - it sounds like there's something there worth teasing out. Like you feel that the other person has the right to prioritise their needs in the relationship but you don't. Or maybe it's that your own needs come as a surprise to you because you're focusing on not being an unappealing person or making the other person angry or something.

It seemed like you were already angry by the time you got to hairdresser. I wonder if it would have been different if you'd been able to say something like 'an appointment would be great, but how long do you expect we'll take? I'd need to be out of there by 10.30 so I can get on the road'.
