If she would still marry him then I am willing to assume she will take the responsibility for the consequences, and that would also be a bold and decisive attitude on her part, in my opinion. | |

Other, more confrontational approaches just haven't worked for me (although others might have had more success). | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 12:28 | comment | added | English Student | Thank you for the quick answer and this is probably the most diplomatic approach, @eff -- I tend to do things the way you suggested, as in giving information and options rather than insisting that somebody should follow a particular course of action. | |
