Quote: I don't really understand your feelings of not wanting me to know what you are thinking, but what I DO understand is that you DO feel that way very strongly. I acknowledge that feeling and would honor it. I would like to think there is that much care and trust between us that you believe my word and that I still want what is best for you in your life. Even if when I tried to make things in your life, as I perceived, better, I was in damn 'fix it mode', controlling behaviors!
Pam, my dear, I suspect he just means he is concerned about you. More concretely that you might overreact to his posting something he felt at that moment, in a 'just venting' spirit. We all post things that we feel very strongly about when we think that venting at our S may strain the R. If our S were to read that post, it would be easy to overreact.
