be careful dueinMay, while i completely understand it, you seem to be putting many conditions on it. while before, it was wrong that he didnt say it, now that he says it, its wrong that he says it at the wrong times. will it be wrong when he says it at the right times but with the wrong inflection in his voice.
to me, this reflects more on you not being ready to hear it, than him saying it.
but again, you've done an amazing job, you're living what many of us wish we had. and you have every right to feel what you're feeling, just be sure to be painfully honest with yourself first. you should be very proud of what you've done.
