How did he come out of the fog to realize that? Well..I told him, my folks told him, the MC told him, his C told him, and the videos our MC gave us told him in detail (with diagrams & all!). I think he finally realized his theories about relationships were crap because he was thinking linealy about something that is more...well...circural.
The rest of it seems like he realizes that he can get his needs met by making positive changes that I encourage and reward. Sort of a Pavlov behavior modification thing. He gets to be in charge a what & when and I get to decide what I like and what I definately don't want to encourage!
