Because he can't make himself want anyone but you. God knows he tried.

[Give him a second to just... sit with that half-uncomfortable knowledge.]

He might change his mind, now we're actually here.

[questionablewit]

Or he might not. I realize you're used to thinking in terms of tactics, possible outcomes and planning for the future and long-term strategy, but that doesn't work very well with emotions. At least, not at the beginning of things.

[











Can she feel how palpably upsetting that is.]

Seriously?

[questionablewit]

[To some extent.]

You can try. But it can backfire, especially if anything you try to anticipate isn't based on both parties' expectations. It's a relationship, not a war.

[deblayer]

How do you get at someone's expectations if neither of you know where you want things to go?

[questionablewit]

By talking a lot? Desires change, expectations change. Maybe not much, but even if what you want doesn't change, life does. So you have to keep making sure you're on the same page.

[deblayer]

I can do that.

[questionablewit]

See? It's not as hard as you thought.
