Dear Jen:

I asked for a specific example because I don’t know if your expectations of him to help you are reasonable or not, but you didn’t give me a specific example, so I don’t know if  you let’s say, called him too often when you felt badly, stayed on the phone too long, expecting him to make you feel better, pressuring him, until he lost his patience or ran out of time, in which case he didn’t mistreat you and your unreasonable expectations of him were the problem.

Or if your expectations of him were reasonable and he indeed mistreated you, and if he mistreated you, then how did he?
