Yes I checked his FB this am and here is what is playing...Do I even dare to read into this?
Boston - A Man I'll Never Be
If I said what's on my mind You'd turn and walk away Disappearing way back in your dreams It's so hard to be unkind So easy just to say That everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be
I think a lot of men are afraid that their wives/woman would be scared off, confused, and turned off by the thoughts, doubts and fears that run thru our minds. We want to be seen as the providers, fixers, leaders and doers in our families. So when our negative thoughts (snakes on a brain) overrun us we struggle with how to cope. Asking for help and risk looking weak or uncapable is terrifying. How many men will ask for directions when we get lost driving? I think the PTSD is a real strong possibility and maybe he is trying to tell you something. That's my opinion.
Cheers
