Do not immediately lay blame - simply state your feelings and ask the other party what their feelings are about the issue. Explain that it's bothering you, but you would like to hear their point of view. Ask them to help you understand the problem. Let them know that you appreciate their helping you to resolve the problem.

Don't worry, this is not a problem that only you have, it's very common and often arises from misunderstanding.

Think of the good feelings you will have when the issue is behind you...

I'm pretty non-confrontational also. But the difference between you and I is that I didn't get yelled at a lot during my years on this planet. I was a good child and I make for a good son nowadays. But I don't like getting yelled at period. For example, if I ate 2 servings of dinner and want to go for another, I'll think of what my mother will think of me eating so much so I don't get one. Or if I do I sneak it.

Anyway, I hope you solve your problem and if my post helps in any way I'm glad.

But when it comes to saying something to someone if something isn't right, I don't stay quiet. That's another difference between us. I may be nervous while doing it but I let it out. ^_^
