From the "Well, that was unpleasant" files:

Just got into it (a little) with my nephew's wife, regarding Easter. She said I was being "disrespectful" about other people's beliefs, and I bit back. I usually let this kind of thing go, because it's not worth arguing with family, but it just hit me really wrong this morning.
Someone said "Happy Easter" to me, and I responded with "meh". It wasn't meant as disrespect, I'm not just interested in being wished something I don't believe in, and being expected to respond in kind.
I told her straight up that I was tired of my beliefs being disrespected by those who want theirs respected.
She tried dragging christmas into the conversation but that went nowhere.
I'm guessing that she's not as agnostic as she used to claim she was.
I'm just so tired of always being the one expected to put my own feelings aside because other people think I should.
