Mue- maybe if you approached the subject with T in a way that focused on you instead of him his heart would soften some and he'd hear you better. (Sucks that you'd have to do that with a T because they are supposed to be doing that for you, but he is human too i guess and could get caught up in taking it personally I guess.)

Maybe if you said something along the lines of 'I feel like' ...... instead of "you said"..... he could hear it better. KWIM?
