Sometimes we feel abused and our ability to trust falters, we question the quality of our relationships.
Negotiation can help.
It is asking for what you want - in a format designed to assist you in getting it. The purpose of negotiation is to figure out what two or more people want to do together, make agreements, and form a plan to achieve goals. This requires clear communication. This is win-win, not adversarial, negotiation. Keep talking until all parties find a balance between selfishly serving one's own needs, and unselfishly providing for someone else's needs.
