((((RDV)))) The main thing that stands out for me is that someone is breaking promises to you. A promise is a promise. However, even if it's not a promise, but a commitment or a plan, if a pattern is developing or has developed where someone is breaking their word, then I think it's a larger problem in that you cannot count on or trust that person.

And if someone excused their behavior at all, ever, with the reply, "I meant it at the time, but...", they would not be in my life to begin with. There is something about that statement that is very disheartening and mildly disturbing to me.
