This is great insight! I've watched a coleague/friend do this and it is both amazing and disturbing -- it might seem almost robot-like to some(like, "why aren't you getting mad, doesn't the bullshit this other person said make your blood boil?"). I try to do the same, but it is incredibly hard, given the other issues in the relationship. Trying to fix smaller issues in order to create a precedent and good will and a feeling of competency feels like navigating a minefield.
