More time with us, less odds of him not coming back. That sounds terrible, but every time I watch him leave to fight, it's exactly like watching someone you love leave for war. There's a lot of scary unknowns.

@Audacious

What would have to do to be "retired?"

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Regardless, maybe the passive aggressive approach does more harm than good.

@Audacious

What would his retirement mean for you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

... Probably. This much is on me.

@Audacious

I'm just throwing out suggestions. Whatever you decide works is up to you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Admittedly, I'm the one prone to getting loud when angry...

@Audacious

Maybe there's a balance between passion and peace.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

A shouting match and maybe even expanding the divide between us.

@Audacious

A shouting match requires two, doesn't it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Sighs*
I don't know, Tempo. Making a wrong move could really blow.

@Audacious

What's the worst-case scenario?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Maybe if he’d be willing to retire?

@Audacious

That's going to be a tall ask, even if he's willing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Find a convenient time and just sneak the question in there.

@Audacious

Right, but what were you wanting to ask?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I dunno. But venting to you has motivated me to make a move. I think I might approach him about it.

@Audacious

What do you have in mind?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I talked to Rhythm about it before. Sometimes, I feel like it’s selfish of me to feel the way I do. Who am I to say he shouldn’t be so selfless all the time?

@Audacious

I don't know if I can add much to whatever she told you. It's okay to be selfish sometimes.
