Play the Game
The question now is, do I play the game (that I detest ever so much) with her? Thus giving her a taste of her own medicine.
Or do I simply break down and talk to her? Thus cutting this whole thing off at the pass.
Those that I talk with about the matter insist that I try and beat her at her own game, but my mind, heart, and soul insist that I just get it over with and have the talk.
Neither option seems like it will turn out good for me, but I would rather be in a clear spot and hurting instead of in the dark and confused.
Might as well get it over with...
