I think you hit it dead on, Hoosier. That's what I struggled with even though I thought I'd be fine with it, so w/o resorting too badly to mind reading here, it wouldn't be unusual for him to be having some of the same thoughts.
And it's just one more reason why the go-slow approach is good. The snap-back from a no-holds-barred, take no prisoners, roll in the hay might be more than either of us bargained for. This way gives ample time for reflection, trust-building, etc.
The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.
