Should I stay, or should I go now?

Hi Lotus. I did ask him about Retouvaille. He is a former Catholic schoolboy, and he has very negative feelings about the church -- or any church for that matter. He pretty nixed the idea.

I know he is depressed, and having been there myself, I should be more understanding about it. I have heard it from several sources that I need to stop thinking this has anything to do with me. He's stuck, and he needs to figure things out. I'm trying to follow MWD's advice in TDR -- the dperession section. I'm acting as if and suggesting activities for him to join us in.

I don't know whether to be distant or compassionate at this point. Getting all involve and trying to solve his problems is typical for me. The 180 would be to leave him alone and go on with life. He told me himself that Ineed to stop internalizing this.

So, on to distractions. I need some distractions.
