He has always been a controlled person, but with a streak of daring. Those who don't know him well enough only see the quiet, disciplined, productive person, and get surprised when they learn that he is a hunter who has gone to some far away places, who has done a lot of adventurous things, who had a Vegas wedding for kicks (our 2nd wedding, we did it 3 times!).
He likes to see how far he could go without "jumping off the cliff", in his own words.
I am the "jump off the cliff" type of person, a risk taker. Have done it many times. I accepted a HS scholarship 500 miles away from home. Many other small things.
He did jump off a few times, but we did it together.Like come to the USA together, changed career.
H has never made those kind of decisions in his life without me to back him up.
His family ties are strong, even without his empathetic side, his aware side will never allow him to do anything out of the norm.
Add to that his being a Catholic, who actively goes to church and prays.
I feel that all this are strong arguments that he will uphold keeping his family together, and that he is fighting to turn the EA into a friendship.
