Overview
It's time to have that talk you've been putting off; chances are, you've built it up in your head to an unrealistically intimidating level. In reality, it will just be two people (who respect each other very much) talking openly and honestly. If you approach things compassionately and with all your defenses down, you will be able to listen well and respond clearly. If you're the one who initiates the conversation, suggest a time when you two can get face to face.
