Not Neanderthal, but this is the first time in the 14 years I've known him, and the first time according to what he's told me of his past that he's ever taken a strong stand. I kind of want to reward it, and if we get past it and on the mend, maybe he can shape it to strong but not overbearing. Definitely will need counseling to get past this one, but for now, maybe not as bad as it first appeared.
