Why isn't he taking any of his advice? Why is he still avoiding me and not showing any interest in communicating with me at all? I guess that is what I don't understand and frustrates me.




BIG ASSumption on your part that he's not.
This question (gently wrapping the 2x4 in cotton) is full of expectation and ASSumption and impatience, Pam.

David is doing what David is doing.

Hon, you gotta STOP focusing on that.

You're ASSuming that D. is doing or not doing something...that it should be on your timetable...that it should look how YOU want it to look...

What if David spent his time asking the same question of you?

What would your response be?

So I think I am feeling some hurt and some frustration and reading the first chapter of DR and then the questions just sort of drove it all home to me.





All valid emotions Pam...and it's great that you're recognizing what you're feeling.
