Quote: He's waiting for you to validate him. He needs to feel safe that YOU aren't always looking at him or thinking that he's a world class loser because of what he's done. His reaction to his sense of being rejected by you in any way is to revert back to his MEness. Which, ironically, is what probably built up your resentment to him that started this whole cycle going on between the two of you.
WE have to break the old patterns by responding differently to THIER OLD behaviors when they rear their ugly heads.
