I am curious what you mean "stand up to"... That sounds like he has some position of power over you or something. You should never feel like you have to stand up to someone you are in a relationship with. Maybe it just sounds bad to me. If you are simply talking about a disagrement, there's nothing special to it. Just disagree with us. Everyone has their own thoughts, I don't expect you to agree with me all the time. We can disagree without disrespecting.

As far as the bossing around stuff... don't give orders, make suggestions. Read around on the libra board some, eveidently we are the biggest people pleasers out there. Just watch your tone. If you come at me like it is an attack like, "how come you never..." then I'll get defensive and it won't be a good conversation. However, if you approach me like, "I'd really enjoy it if you..." then you have a MUCH better chance of 'making me' do something.

I agree with LibraSid 100% . Please don't sound like you have a problem with us, or there will be problems. Lol. However if you need to stand up to you libra, feel free to do so. The last thing you want him or her to think is that they can tell you anything and you will go for it. Im sorry but as sweet and charming as we are, most will take advantage of that trait in a person. So by all means put your foot down. But like Librasid said, just watch how you do it. Remember they are sensitive underneath all that charm and airy attitude, and can become quite feisty and defensive if you dare criticize that perfect demeanor, perfect face, and outfit that was hand chosen for that specific day or event, or hair style , shoes, personality that they have worked on since childhood. How dare you the nerve of you, would be their attitude if you are not careful, and then they may even disappear for a while to ponder on it, (IF they care enough) if not, they will be gone like the wind. So tread softly, speak firmly and if you are grudge holder, this is a sign that is over something as small as disagreement in five minutes, so you want to practice agreeing to disagree.
