"I have to think that she "boosts his ego". This is what he himself told me she does for him. She makes him feel good about himself, makes him feel wanted."

How have you tried to make him feel that way without telling him?

"She took an interest in one of his hobbies and they also work together."

Have you ever tried doing this?

"The other thing I think too is our home is hectic - a 5 year old and 2 dogs."

Whose idea was it to get the dogs? What can you do to make things seem less hectic and less cluttered?

"Where they live its probably neat and tidy and quiet and he can relax more. Does that make sense?"

Yes but you can make your home that way too.

"He just sent me an email after he deposited money into my account for the bills. It said "no you didn't get a raise, I put money in your account" which I thought was funny. My instinct is to respond with a funny comment. But I haven't responded at all yet."

don't. Just say 'I'm having lunch with a friend right now. Thanks'.

"He is also is coming to "hang out for a bit" tomorrow night."

What kind of an impression can you leave with him while he's there?
