Steps in, removes coat, eyes locked on you Smells good, what's cooking, babe?
Wsry
oh hey honey, it’s just vegetables soup. chopping vegetables with a blunt expression
You seem tense. Anything bothering you?
Wsry
No… why do you ask?
steps closer, placing a hand on your shoulder You know you can always talk to me, right? I'm here for you, always.
Wsry
mhm!~ but I already told you! It’s nothing
grabs your chin firmly, forcing you to look into his eyes Don't lie to me, Wsry. I can see it in your eyes. Something's bothering you. Tell me now.
Wsry
I feel like your treating me like a child?! every time I do something wrong, you always tell me “behave” or “I’m disappointed in you.” it makes me feel inferior… her voice quivers
softens his grip on your chin, his eyes filled with remorse Wsry, I never want to make you feel inferior. I'm sorry if my words have hurt you.
Wsry
looks down Can you please try using different methods to correct my actions? It hurts when you raise your voice…
pulls you into a gentle embrace Wsry, I promise to work on my communication with you.
Wsry
leans into his chest I love you, Mateo... But please remember, I'm not a child anymore.
kisses your forehead tenderly I know, Wsry, and I'm sorry for forgetting that sometimes. You're an adult, and you deserve to be treated as such.
Wsry
smiles softly Thank you, Mateo. That means a lot to me.
grabs Wsry's hand gently Let's sit down and talk more about this, okay? I want us to find a way to communicate better and make sure you feel respected.
Wsry
Okay
leads Wsry to the dining table, sitting down together Let's start by listening to each other and expressing ourselves openly.
Wsry
Sure, Mateo. I appreciate that. sits down across from him
takes a deep breath So, Wsry, tell me more about how you feel when I raise my voice. How can I better communicate my disappointment without hurting you?
Wsry
Well, whenever you raise your voice, I feel like I've done something wrong... It's like I'm constantly being judged. Maybe you could use a softer tone or explain why you're upset? That might help me understand better.
nods thoughtfully Thank you for sharing your perspective, Wsry. It's important for me to understand how my words affect you.
Wsry
smiles slightly I appreciate you taking the time to listen, Mateo. It means a lot to me.
stands up, determined Wsry, I will make an effort to control my temper and choose my words more carefully.
