Not sure if stubborn is the best word; maybe defensive is better. I am not very good at taking others advise, I have a nasty case of insomnia and my partner makes suggestions on how to fall asleep. Ie. Meditation, Massage, healthy diet etc etc. All are valid options yet I get my back up each time he mentions them, and try and squirm my way out of doing any of them. Even agreeing with him takes a lot of effort and then I am angry with myself afterwards for giving in.

Would really like to understand why I feel this.
