<p class=”p1″>Thank you for your detailed message Anita it helped a lot. I do see my shortcomings here and you are right, I shouldn’t have focused on the wrong emotions here. I wish I was able to snap into that in the moment but when things go wrong, that is when I realize what I should have done better.</p>
<p class=”p1″>I did apologize immensely to him and acknowledged my shortcomings hoping we can have a conversation but that is when he requested space. He requested space almost a week ago and we haven’t talked since then. It seems to me that he will reach out when he is ready. I am respecting his space but it feels very strange knowing that this is the longest we went without talking to each other and I feel truly horrible that I hurt him. </p>
<p class=”p1″>I will look into the non-violent communication, but just to clarify things, I didn’t yell or argue with him in a violent tone. It was a very calm toned conversation. I know an apology isn’t going to fix things and with apology should come changed behavior, so I do hope that I can really absorbed the learning lesson here and hopefully prevent something like this from happening again in the future. </p>
