If I offer explanations for my hesitations she says I am arguing with her and I am resisting her suggestions. I tell her that I don't want to argue - that I am only telling her my side of why I am not able to do certain things and make decisions fast enough like she wants.
She keeps telling me that she cannot help me if I don't make decisions. For me it is very hard because it is about getting divorce and from the culture where I come from, divorce is a major issue - almost like a life and death issue. So I have to be extremely cautious about it. It is not something that I can do easily or make up my mind easily. Maybe it is a cross cultural issue that we have - she doesn't see why it is hard for me to do certain things and why I act in the way I do.
