The small resentments that grow over weeks do so because they started as something you agreed to take on that was never really yours to begin with. You said yes in a room where saying no felt impossible, and now you are living with the daily reminder of that moment. What makes it worse is that the other person has no idea you are carrying it, because the transaction felt clean to them. The resentment is not about what they did. It is about what you brought back with you when you left that room.
