I hesitated for a few seconds, not sure exactly how I was supposed to put that question because the way I tell him about it determines if he is even going to think about it or not. I knew a great deal about communication, and unless I wanted to provoke you, I knew exactly how to say things to appeal to you in the way that I wanted.
"I'm not trying to tell you what to do; I am only giving you a suggestion. I need you to remember that."
I said to him, making it sound like a pre-warning to him because I was not very sure what his reaction was going to be after this.
"Why do I feel like what you are about to say right now is going to break my heart?" He asked me, making me laugh because I knew that that was far from what it was going to do to him.
