It’s okay to go back on your word. It’s okay not to fulfill a promise, based on new information. Of course, that should never be an excuse for flakiness. Of course not. Yet, at the same time, if you’re feeling deeply uncomfortable, say something. Do something. Don’t bend over backwards just because you think you should be a nice person. Nice guys, as the saying goes, tend to finish last. But, if you do make a mistake, rest assured that by Sunday, the truth will come out, whether with a friend, lover, or someone you work with. This is an opportunity to face each other's dark, yucky stuff and find a new way - together.
