Over the weekend things got tense when something didn't go his way. I backed off, let him vent, he started to blame others (and not the person who failed him) so I just kept reminding him to "stick to the issue", be mad at the person who let you down and don't start blaming others who had nothing to do with it. My part, "don't take things personally". He listened, calmed down and later we enjoyed the fact that it didn't cause a problem between us as in the past. Progress.
