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
!
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 (

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?
