Effective communication is seeking her input about your topic of concern and being prepared to listen and give credence to opinions that differ from yours. If it's going to be a difficult conversation, it's a helpful technique to broach and listen in one conversation and save your input for the next conversation.
This is a great suggestion. It goes against our normal communication dynamic, and it will show her I am listening, one of my 180s.
I am indeed nervous that if I just do this, she will again mention S. Would truly dropping the rope mean that I stop avoiding what may be inevitable, and not be afraid of this convo?
