I had to scroll back up to see who "Quiet" was? Pen, it's you!
I really like where the 2 of you are going with these dialogues. Please keep going, because I think she's bringing up things that neither one of us had considered previously. And bein' that she's smart and all, I'm glad.
Okay, so you've discussed these things that are extremely upsetting, disturbing and seem to continue never ending. I'm simply amazed by the frequency and quality of the surprises that you have received over the past month.
So let's paint the canvas with some broad strokes with a large brush... you're the artist. I'm just observing.
Trish, what are your boundaries and what are your deal breakers?
Gosh, please know I'm not goading you. I just sense some new and uncomfortable feelings on your part and I want to explore them a little bit more.
Frankly, I think everything you're observing and sharing is deceitful (on his part, naturally) and extremely upsetting. The more you seem to balance all of these things, the more angry and withdrawn he seems to become? Is this how you perceive him? Or do you see this differently? (I'm not in the know, but merely asking for your thoughts here.)
Fire away. I'll be back. I keep getting interrupted here at work anyway. I might as well make a few personal interruptions of my own.
Ciao for now.

Pen, it's you! 
Ciao for now.
