Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks.

Some questions cannot be answered on demand and will answer themselves if left alone. Whether a person meant well, whether a decision was right, whether the new arrangement will hold: pressing for an early verdict produces guesses, while a few months produce evidence unasked. The urge to know now is mostly discomfort with not knowing, a different problem from the one you think you are solving.

Pick the question you have been turning over and give it a date instead of an answer. Decide to look at it again in a month, write that down, and let the interval do the work you were trying to do by thinking.
