So it's like, do I bail on him b/c he hasn't done as much work as I have?
Obviously I think the answer is no...
Though sometimes I do feel a little like he's "bringing me down" for lack of a better way of putting it.
And he's been telling me that while he's now read a lot of books putting it all into practice is like the real thing and that's what keeps coming up for him - but he's working through it. (I think he means in his head he's worked through a lot but not yet in the practical application like when he's having reactions to me or tendencies to pull away and withdrawal) (a big book for us was Pia Melodys' Love Addiction since we were in a pursuer-withdrawer situation for years)
