7. After you talk, simply enable life and his behaviors to unfold naturally. He could step in and cherish your emotions and check out to sort things, or he could not. It doesn’t matter. Your energy is in your skill to know what you are feeling and have the ability to categorical it in a manner that’s not dramatic nor blames him.
