What does it mean

I am not going to persist with my decision.
  

Top answer

persist: to continue to do or say something in a determined way; refuse to stop Anonymous I am not going to persist with my decision. To my ear "persist with my decision" sounds a bit strange, but the meaning is I'll stop advocating for my decision so strongly as I have been doing. This could suggest I'm going to drop the subject.

It's often "persist in -ing".

I'm not going to persist in trying to convince you how great my decision is.
