Had a doozy with my AH on Wednesday. It's been a VERY long time since this happened in this way. He was so intent on being right and proving his point that he wouldn't stop coming at me, even though I realized this argument was not going to be "a winner" for either of us. I attempted to disengage a few times but he kept on coming.

I ended up telling him to get away from me and going for a walk. He'd basically been "pinning me down" (not actually touching me, but physical body language was that of "cornering" me and he positioned himself so he was coming down on me).

I'm still not at peace with the situation - it's right at the border of being a deal breaker for me. I'm absolutely keeping my space and checking myself frequently for not letting my ill-at-ease-ness influence me to be passive aggressive - in short, I'm practicing Al Anon to the best of my ability, even though my peace in the situation is not fully here yet.
