Confronting the other person is often an unnecessary fishing expedition.
1. What was your purpose for confronting the OP and what did you say/do?
I just wanted to know if they were really going out or not.
2. What happened? What was the outcome?
She still referred me back to my hubby for confirmation, then I knew it was true.
3. If you were to do it again, would you do it differently? What did you learn?
No, it wasn’t necessary!
Coach’s Comments:
Confronting the other person is often a fishing expedition to discern the truth. It’s a form of spying. By reading body language and content of the other person’s response, one can often gain insight or validate one’s suspicions.
In this case, contacting the OP was validation, but it seems she had enough information beforehand that made the confrontation unnecessary.
One’s intuition is often very accurate. Trust it.
