Thanks dfb - that is the hard part because I do it because I love him but he doesn't want to have to "need" anyone, based on his past I suppose. He also felt smothered, but admits that he knows I am just being caring & he doesn't know how to deal with that.
I would do anything for him but most of the time he will not ask. Now he thinks that if he asks me for help or support, he is giving me the wrong idea about where we are going. Which I guess he thinks is nowhere right now, although I have learned to not panic when he says that because he changes his mind all the time as I explained in an earlier post. Have to admit I'm always wondering if it is for real each time.
Thanks for your support. I have followed your thread & hope to someday be as strong as you!
