"It also sounds like you two made a connection for the first time in a while. That can be very intoxicating..."

That was the word he used - connected.

Surprisingly, he didn't blame me for anything ... said I had done nothing wrong. He accepted all the blame.

I did ask him if our roles were reversed and I was the one gone all the time, how long we he put up with it? At first he said a year, then said, no, maybe 6 months, then said he wouldn't put up with it for very long. I hope he thinks about that one.

I think his biggest issue is that the operation over there is close to being what his vision for it was and he committed to his partner over there and his operations manager that he would be there to see that things kept moving forward. He said he couldn't just let it go - it would kill him. I told him I knew that and that I would never ask him to do something like that. But, if we are going to fix things here, we need to find some solutions that are acceptable to both of us - particularly when it comes to the trust issue.
