A Rough Year Continues.... 4

[TwinDad]

Why is it that he can't recognize the things that are causing his feelings????

Actually he can, which is why it is upsetting. This is the area in your R where he feels he is "supposed" to be a rock and this is affecting him. He doesn't want to lay this at you feet because he doesn't want you to feel guilty about him having these feelings and he doesn't want you to have his fears (i.e. he knows he needs to be strong for you in this area of your life)

Throw in a little bit of guilt in this area due to the EA from the past and the popsicle girl and......there you go.

Actually, I think the fact that you let it drop, he got his temper under control and then "psuedo-confided in you" (i.e. told you but then told you that wasn't the reason) is very good for anyone in his situation.

As a guy.....we are supposed to be able to deal with things like this......
