Perhaps your partner is feeling the same things that you are feeling! Once your feelings are out in the open, it will be easier to come up with a solution to your problems.

One F:

First, you might want to consider the fact that you are imagining the fact that he is angry with you. Maybe things at work, in general, have not been going well. Or maybe he has a personal problem that is putting a damper on his professional life. You shouldn't jump to conclusions and assume that the way he has been acting is about only you.

By using the analogy involving the child at school, I will probably make the child understand parents' needs to be adults better, and the child may be less upset when the parents leave. In addition, in the final conversation, I picked up on the fact that the speaker was worried, and perhaps unnecessarily so. So, I advised him or her to be cautious about both worry and his or her actions at work. I also advised this person to take a positive step toward solving the problem. Because I have given the speaker hope that the boss was not really upset with him or her, while still suggesting that it is a possibility, I have given the speaker peace of mind, in addition to building trust so he or she will take my advice.
