Overview
Avoiding conflict is often a wise idea, but right now doing so is taking too much effort on your part. You should face this situation head on and put out the fire that has been steadily building. It is not going to go away on its own, and pretending that it will is only going to cause you more stress down the line. It's like removing a bandage: the faster you deal with this, the less pain you will feel. Be blunt, be honest and don't back down.
