I know I'd be more comfortable over the phone, but as I think through this, that would make it too easy for him. He needs to do it face to face. I may not keep it together, but I won't beg or plead. I guess I'll try to practice what I've been learning on this site... validate, tell him I disagree that we can't work out, but understand how he feels. Any effective phrases that anyone wants to throw out here would be wonderful!
I was pleasant this morning... we made eye contact, and for a moment it was just like we used to look at each other. Now he's wanting to have 'the talk'. You're right though, MT, I will come out the other side stronger. As I read somewhere else today, our WAS are on a journey, but we are too... left behind but not stuck unless we choose to be. I choose to carry on.
