What does this mean?- the WH's regrets?

[Piano]

Totally agree that these WHs are a complicated bunch! Holy cow - he is in crisis for sure or just plain immature.

That bit about you leaving and therefore ending the M is just nonsense - excuses.

I totally relate to how upset you are that he wants to do Ethiopia on his own...

Do you reckon there's a chance he is just dribbling on, G?

Maybe instead of denying him what he wants, you could validate him and say how much you understand what he wants and needs... I don't see why you couldn't add that you're sorry he doesn't want you to join him, but that you want him to be happy etc so go ahead etc etc. And say it nicely. Maybe if you take away the feeling of being confined, he'll loosen (and wisen) up?

He said it himself - he wants to be able to talk to you about these things. He wants your validation or help or advice or something.

I know..it feels like coddling him a bit...he should be acting like a responsible man and sucking it up, but he's not going to do it under more pressure and by being attacked..

What do others think?
