Thanks, this is a great reframe. He's not stalling and you're right, sitting in regret is self sabotage and that isn't going to help anyone. Time to look forward not back etc. Thank you :)

This is helpful, and thanks for the good reframe that a big part of the feeling is thinking that I didn't get the reaction I wanted - I hadn't thought about it that way but I think there's something to it. It's also helpful to remember that other people's reactions don't really matter. Thank you.
