Agreeing to things just to keep the peace is actually a trauma response.
When you do this, you're disrespecting your boundaries. No
more making yourself uncomfortable for others to feel comfortable. You have control now. You run your life. Take up space and use your voice.
You can't just give up on someone because the situation's not ideal.
Great relationships aren’t great because they have no problems.
They're great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it
work.
