Thanks for your feedback. It is so interesting how you see it. While I feel we are moving in a positive direction I really appreciate your analysis because it helps me see it more objectively too. Analysis has never been a strong point of mine, especially when I am in the middle of it. It's easy to analyze when I am an outsider, but not as an insider.

I wouldn't have seen it that way, so thanks for highlight that.

You tell him your plans and how you are going to put them into action (validating his concerns by showing him your vision).
He buys into your vision by making arrangements to take you to a photography exhibit, which will be a great way for him to see the potential of your career path, hang out and networking for contacts.
Again, I didn't see the full extent of his actions, so thank you.
We had a great day yesterday. We got to the exhibition, only to find that the exhibition was last year! I'm sure he was a little embarrassed about it, and I was a little confused. I just let it pass and we looked in the gallery's bookstore instead and looked at whatever they had on...I am pleased to see he went to the photography portion of the exhibition.
We ended up going to the cinema instead, and he suggested a film that he knew I've been wanting to see. After the film, I was so happy and talkative, and then he said while he wasn't all that into it, he was happy that I was happy. Well, that was just an act of love if ever there was one.
In many ways, he's such 'a man' you know, not talking too much, and I think for the first time I appreciate this male-ness way of being.
Today is another day of activities, and I'm sure it will be another good one.
