You are justifying his behavior Ellie. Which is fine if that is how you feel, but don't say you're not justifying, only to go on in your sentence and justify it. What if he had punched my lights out? The fact remains that I baited him I suppose?
Heatherg, if I may step in here, it takes two to make a dynamic. All kml is pointing out is that part of the two that you have control over changing the dynamic of.
Sensing some defensiveness here... it's brewing over... heatherg, we're all on the same side here.
Yes I would agree that my karate classes are quite an issue for him. ... Can you think of anything else I can do to reassure him besides quitting
Nope. So... do we know what is it about taking karate classes that is an issue for him? Has he told you what it is? Have you asked him? And further, I'll lay odds the the real issue has nothing to do with karate or classes.
