My xT changed tactics, but he failed to appraise my of why. I'll never know, it feels. I ended up getting terminated, and what felt like getting pushed into leaving. Was he doing that? How would i know? I don't.
Ask her, is it going to work if I help you really understand how I feel, and that I will be the one dealing with the fallout if you push me too far? I don't know, maybe that will help.
