Hmm. Is there a way you and kids could be supportive of the bike run if he does it?
Like how? Using WOA, you mean? I don't know what takes place during bike runs (or what's involved with taking part in them). All I know is that he will be going for a long ride.

Why do you think he goes to the bar to watch the games, even when alone? Does he not feel as relaxed around the house? And good job on the letting go!
I honestly do not know. Umm, I have this fear that he goes to this particular place because it is where he would often go with the girl he dated before he came back home. She was/is damn near 'perfect' in his eyes, although he claimed that he still had regrets every morning he woke up beside her. I also remember him mentioning once that she waitresses in the evenings, but I never asked where. Didn't feel the need to then.

When he plays soccer or softball do you guys go and cheer him on?
He doesn't invite us. He plays in a coed soccer league and has often talked about a certain female player. Makes me wonder at times, but I do my best to let it go. As for softball, he hasn't played since he hurt his ankle a couple of months back.

I wonder what it is about the bike that is so special. Of course, that makes it a way bigger deal that he offered to take you around the block on it - that's a pretty major chink in the wall there!
Yeah, no kidding!
He says he loves riding it because it gives him the sense of feeling free.......
He has also asked me on several occasions, including last night, if I wanted him to get rid of it.....????.......I always tell him no. It's his bike, and I know how much he enjoys it. He will say things like, "Yeah, but I don't want you to think I've got something I don't deserve." I tell him I don't think that at all, and he does deserve to have something that brings him happiness.
