Quote: H started to tell a story with the facts all wrong, and I pointed out the impossibility of it...
How unfortunate to run out of duct tape right in the middle of a meal! If you want closeness from H, you can't push him away with pronouncements of "You're wrong!" just for the heck of it. I have an extremely hard time doing this, but we need to focus on the feelings, NOT the facts. Whatever it was, H was sharing something with you. That is an attempt at closeness.
It's good to be able to sit back and observe. What can you do to bring some loving attitude to that detachment?
