Dear T,
Wow, that was a really nice, empathetic reply. I love your line "So we'll be uncomfortable together." At times in the past, it seemed like you were more focused on your own comfort with certain topics than mine (or my need to discuss them). This feels like you're giving equal weight to my comfort and thinking of us as a team rather than me vs. you. Hopefully, the conversation (whether tomorrow or at some other point) will have a similar tone.
Love,
LT
