I think having these conversations is very difficult and your braver than most. Ive lost a few significant friends or they've turned their back on me because we haven't had those conversations. It's left me feeling very low and lonely
Thanks for the useful advice and inspiration. I feel like I always need to have difficult conversations with people. It's hard because everytime I had one at work it always resulted in a negative outcome for me. The same thing happened in my personal life too, some people changed their behaviour towards me after that conversation. It's never easy but it's always necessary to be on the same wavelenght with people. Gotta have one of those with my father in law who somehow always offends me when we all get together. 😢
It is always good to have this kind of conversations. Lack of them or lack of the skill (or will) to have them may have a huge consequences. I was always open to talk during my life but unfortunately I met the people who had troubles to handle them and as the result I have really weak connection with my family and I'm about to change my work and marriage. Life is not fair but we shouldn't make it harder. I don't regret my attitude even if I'm starting third decade of my new life totally alone.
I had to have a difficult conversation with my ex-girlfriend, by the side of the swimming pool, on our lovely and romantic first holiday together. It would have been so easy to just put it off for another time, distract myself with the holiday, but I couldn't, it was eating away at me. We split up on the holiday. Do I regret it? No. We had a lovely flat together, everything appeared to be perfect, but something in me was not committed, the reasons why are too much to cover in the comment. We split up, I had to move home as an adult in my 30s. It has been a very dark time, yet I am on the up, and honestly I have never been so secure in who I am as a result. I am glad I had that conversation, many people think I am crazy for doing it when I did, but why wait? It will only hurt more when it happens. I feel my life is heading in a good direction. I care immensely about her and I could not do her an injustice by lying to myself and her about my doubts. She is free to find someone who will love her how she deserves to be loved, that conversation was a gift, a horrible, painful, upsetting, but necessary gift.
Hugs to you for cutting ties with a family member. This happened to me with one of my brothers after losing my mum. It's never a easy thing I still miss him and think of them tho. Good luck for you're hard conversation. Wishing u all the best. 🙂
To make difficult conversation, start with a small date kind of a thing , sit quietly and awkwardly for some time , while having coffee , your conversation will start seeping through the coffee sip by sip ..

Just stumbled on this video as I am going through something similar myself. Why was it not reciprocated if I may ask?
Hey jay. You made a decision about australia yet?
