AY--that kind of behavior would drive me batty. I think it would make me want to keep pressing until she expressed a true opinion.

CE: I find a lot of natural conflict in the relationship, but not opposition in the sense that we are not working toward different goals or working against each other. More like, we're two people who sometimes disagree in our views of something or how to approach a problem, and then we messily work it out. But the underlying relationship is solid enough to withstand the turbulence.
