Hi Rain. IMHO XF can't let you go. I know you are both aggravating each other right now. Can you find a way to have a more productive conversation with him? Or just listen to him with an open heart? I don't mean put up with the b.s. This is from the book I'm reading: "Differentiation is achieved by learning to separate what you think from what you feel—and by learning to be yourself while respecting other people’s right to be themselves. " And this: "Misunderstanding is perpetuated when each one broods over the awful things the other one does and one or both of them eventually finds someone else to complain to." That's what my W did with ow. I don't know... I'm just trying to learn how to be a better listener so we can find common ground. I wish W would badger me like XF is badgering you! The silence here is deafening.
