    some have the moves, some obviously don't! Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

    Strange I find when I show the picture of the wife & kids they still talk to me.

    • In a work environment:
    Say: “I’m sorry you are upset. Are you OK? Would you like me to give you some space for a while or would you like to talk about what is bothering you?”
    Action: Make her a cup of tea, as it makes everything better.
    • In a friendship or relationship situation:
    Say: Nothing for now. Don’t assume it’s your fault and wait for her to speak.
    Action: Give her a hug, immediately, if not sooner. Hug her for as long as she maintains the embrace, even if you are getting snot on your shirt. Then make her a cup of tea, as it makes everything better.

    Does tea really fix everything?
    Wine works better.
