I canceled tomorrow’s plans to go do a career building experience that’s a few hours away and I’ll be away from my phone all day. He’s already mad and upset he can’t see me in person, how do I break it to him that I can’t talk tomorrow without getting hurt????

Hi  Welcome new member (click to insert in post)!

While it can be difficult to share this type of information when your partner is already upset, it`s an opportunity to apply some communication skills (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=69272.0). There are different approaches to take, and you can determine which one (or a mix of them!) applies best to your situation. I don`t think it`s realistic to expect not to hurt your partner (they will feel what they feel), but you can certainly help the situation by creating a bridge.

What do you think?
