It's when he gets in his "funk" (that's what he calls it) that he feels this way.
So how do you react when he's in the funk, BFM? Do you ignore him and go ahead on your own way?
Sorry for the hijack, Patti--I can't find a current thread for BFM.
No, I don't ignore him. I offer him support, but continue to detach.
Detach does not mean that I go about and do my own thing and ignore him. Detach simply means that I don't let myself get drug down when he's having a bad day or week. I see that's its not the end of the world and that "this too shall pass", I pray, I'm there if he needs to talk, and I try not to take things personally.
