I've been working hard on learning about boundaries, detaching myself from my H's actions and emotions, and I feel it's gotten me to a point where actually having a face to face convo is no harder than email for me. I'm curious what he'll say, I can listen and not react, I keep my power over my responses. It's taken a lot of practice, and I'm not always good at it.
But I had a difficult conversation with work, a performance review, and it worked for me in that situation too.
Keep doing what you're doing WofPa.
