Wow - that was quite a conversation. I'm sure it'll take some time to process everything that was said. So sorry you're in this situation. As you said, at least you know now what you're dealing with.

If you refer back to the goals you posted earlier today, it sounds like you accomplished them. You practiced DB'ing, stayed pretty much upbeat and validating his statements, and yet you stood up for yourself and the M as far as affairs and staying committed. You should feel good about how you handled a very tough conversation!

Like Kara, I wonder what you will decide to do now... back off again, stay friendly, etc. What do you think?
