[quote=Anonymous]Op here with a quick update. We talked it out this morning. Thanks all for the input, it was helpful.

I started off by asking how he would prefer me to communicate that scenario so that it wouldn’t upset him. He was never able to answer that question and said the issue was my lack of good faith and trust that he wasn’t trying to hurt me. There were at least 5 or 6 times the discussion started going sideways with the same thing but I kept it on track. I said his way of responding was upsetting and destructive. Didn’t take that too well initially, but we got there. After I repeated his exact words to me, he first accused me of not trusting that he wasn’t trying to hurt me, but I persisted and he eventually acknowledged he might do that unconsciously and apologized and said it wasn’t his intention to hurt me and would try to be more aware of it in the future.

And I said I would try to fix my tone and not be accusatory in the future.

Kinda proud of myself that I held my ground and didn’t play the martyr either. [/quote]
