He replied, ''What we're going to do.'' He respected what I was going through, but at a certain point, he felt that this was a decision we were making. I agreed.
He may have been reluctant at first but eventually he agreed (even if it was grudgingly).
When it is a matter of life and death, to sit idly by is an agreement. When someone does not do everything in one's power to halt a murder, their inaction is a act of consent. IMHO
So you're saying he should have talked more, I guess. She just doesn't sound like a person willing to be persuaded to me.
