[QUOTE="HyacinthBucket, post: 3298294, member: 98298"] She'll feel a lot more intimadated when I finally snap and beat the snot out of her the next time she says "I don't know" "I don't mind" "what do you want to do"! It's driving me up the freaking wall. I'm not a naturally dominant personality/ leader, so having to make all the decisions, plan and run everything with no input from her is stressing me. That being said. I like being able to run things my way and around my time periods. It would just be nice to get some positive reaction from her. It's getting to the point where, if she's not careful, I'll start taking advantage of her lack of backbone and make her do all the crappy jobs. I have to be constantly upbeat and cheerful because she walks round with a face on her like a wet weekend. She hardly every initiates conversation, so I end up babbling about stupid stuff, she often misses what I'm saying (or misinterprets it), due to the language thing and half the cultural references I make she doesn't know - she didn't get my Elmer Fudd 'I'm hunting wabbits' joke the other day, she doesn't really get British humour/sarcasm/understatement. It's a total nightmare! The train was delayed last night and all the announcements were in Swedish but when we finally arrived home, she asked me why we were late. How the heck was I supposed to know that! I get 1 Swedish word in 20 if I'm lucky (and those are only the ones that sound like the English version). [/QUOTE]
