Well, I think he's shutting down as soon as I say 'gf', and accusing me of being rude and inconsiderate. He did explain to me that, from his perspective, I am trying to get barbs in. I understand that's how he feels. So, how can I express these same feelings, in a way that he can understand and hear?

I think it's a good benchmark, too. I think my saying it is going to have one of two consequences: it'll finally sink in with him, or he'll just clam up more on me. I am concerned I am getting the latter.

You know, I might have said why I was choosing not to...I don't recall. Good point...again, I think I need to make it about me being hurt, and not about him seeing someone. I think that's the big problem here. I think he hears judgment in what I'm saying, which isn't what I mean at all.
