Ohh you are all a great group of people!! Thank you.
I am guessing it was his mom. The C told him he acts out of fear not selfishness. She said "stop worrying youare a bad person, you are just human-the more indifferent you seem about someone, the more you love them, because you are putting walls between you worried you will lose them (death)-you are missing out on what life offers, a great love and relationship"...
I am going to tell him, if he wants to tackle this, he will find me by his side. If he chooses not to, I will move on. He is free to do as he will. As I told him last night during C, he cant run forever. He will have to do it. It's best to do while he still has a choice. K
PM is Passionate Marriage by D. Schnarch. I get a preview of what's happens next. I dealt with my crucible when he left me. He deals with it now. What he does is the whole point.
