They all go through the "cootie" stage. Ignore the behavior as best as you can and continue doing what you where doing when he arrived. It's called "guilt". You do not have to change your behavior just because the guilt cooties have him in their grip.
Listen to what he has to say, but do not engage into a discussion if it's an argument that he is seeking. They all do this....learn to listen, but do not react and that means defend right now because nothing you say or do wil please him. So, guess what? Learn to please yourself. You know whether or not what he is saying is live or memorex. Choose your battles and don't haggle over the small stuff. He's unhappy w/himself, therefore he wants everyone to be that way, i.e., misery loves company!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
