Lets imagine you are soo busy this weekend having fun that you forgot you had a phone. Sometime Monday you remember that you had a phone. You look at it and see all kinds of messages from H. Then before you respond, something more important comes up, so you set your phone down and start doing the important thing.
Everything is more important than interacting with H. He has fired you as his W.
IF he shows up at your house to check on you, you validate his emotional state, most likely ANGER.
You STFU, and listen.
These are your validating statements: W, "You sound angry." W, "I understand you feel that way" W, "I bet it is hard to feel that way"
H:"Why didn't you answer my texts?" W"I was busy"
Be the first to end the convos or interaction: W:"I have something important to do. Goodby"
W:"I am meeting someone in 10 minutes, I have to go" H:"Who?" W:"You don't know them"
