This scene is taken from the Heroides by the Roman poet Ovid. When Cydippe went to make an offering at the temple of Diana, Acontius, who was secretly in love with her, threw an apple inside with the following words written on it: ‘I swear by the sanctuary of Diana that I will marry Acontius.’ Cydippe read the words aloud, thus turning them into a solemn vow.

Kydippe: ...... Thank you?

If your intention is to explain issues and not to whine then you probably would do a better job at it that you are giving yourself credit for. You can try to anticipate the reactions that you will get and address them in advance. You have to keep in mind that if the people you are talking to are unreceptive or combative in the first place, it doesn't matter how much effort you put into your explanation, it won't get through to them. But that has nothing to do with you.
