It's easier to maintain mystery in that case. And the target's imagination will work in their favor...of course they will imagine what they most want.




Yes, there is the mystery part and the listening part. Heck, I'd even start up with the "oh you poor baby" sympathy...really encourage self-centeredness and being on a pity pot.

I'd probably say things like, "you shouldn't feel guilty about leaving your family, the best gift you can give your children is a truly happy father".

and...

"Life is too short to spend married to someone your not happy being with 100% of the time" and....so on.
