You are doing great, Birdy!! Keep it up. Now contact his boss.

What about his parents? Who else is left on your list?

Don't stop until you are done. Get this wrapped up and out of the way so you can move onto next steps.

Yes I contacted his parents.

I am sending H the letter before I tell his boss. The Harley's said I could hold off on telling the boss. I am going to go with that advice.

Wait a minute, I am listening right now and that is not what he said at all. He told you to tell his boss. You have no valid reason to delay this key exposure.

You need to get these exposures done TODAY so you can move onto next steps.

That is nice. Now finish your exposures and stop reading his texts.

What I took away from the conversation with both of them was that I could delay in telling his boss and that is what I wrote down. I 100% take ownership of my actions in this matter and understand that you disagree.

You are making excuses because you are scared. I am listening right now and that is NOT what he said.

This is a critical exposure you can't afford to ignore.

Why would you choose to drag this out needlessly? Do you want to deal with a nuclear explosion next week too? WHY? There is no need to drag this out. Get it done NOW so this part is over and so you can move onto next steps.

That's fine, we will keep this on the front burner until it is resolved. You can't afford to cut corners. This is a critical exposure that can't be ignored. After all, this is a workplace related affair.

Lose moral high ground how?? By telling the truth? He is probably wayward.

I must be completely confused then because I wrote down and re-listened and they said at one point that I could do it in stages with the boss.

He called my mother and tried to tell her it wasn't an emotional affair and that I was going crazy.

My mother told him she is praying for us and wants us to be together desperately but that he was having an emotional affair whether he thinks so or not.

Dr. Harley: I would tell his boss.

Dr H: His boss will not want him to be having an affair

47:14 Dr Harley: I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to do anything to ruin his life. But i don't want him to do this again

Birdy; That is my worst fear about telling his boss.

Dr H: No, getting the boss to know about this will be a GIANT LEVERAGE. GIANT LEVERAGE
