Jeez, I can't be the only person here who can give you advice. But, here goes. What do you want? I mean, he is telling you where he is at which is basically confused. Can you take that journey with him? Can you pace yourself and continue to DB and GAL and not allow your life to sink into his on a dime?
I don't even know your history and I just stumbled onto your thread.
If you were giving advice to someone else in your sitch, what would you say? Really, honestly. I've seen your advice to others and it is good. I think you have your answers. Sorry I can't do more. Besides, you've probably already responded.
