ADVICE

Pick A Neutral Time And Don’t Warn Them

  • Pick a specific time and place and don't alert them beforehand so they don't delete evidence or prepare a defensive lie.
  • Rayna recommends making the invite seem normal like “Can you come over tomorrow night?” to avoid tipping them off.
ADVICE

Decide Your Endgame Before Confronting

  • Decide in advance whether you plan to end the relationship or try to salvage it so your confrontation has a clear goal.
  • Rayna warns these are divergent paths and you should walk in knowing your endgame.
ADVICE
