PamelaC, Hi, don't worry about being too harsh, thanks! But, how do I be myself if I want to talk about stuff w/him and he blatantly acts like he doesn't care or says sarcastically, "that's nice?" We just talked about not having things to talk about, so I'm trying to have convo's with him, but they end abruptly with his one word responses or "that's nice." What do I do in this sit? He said that he wanted to work on this, and it looks to me like he is acting more and more like his dad. Very non-responsive and uninterested. Bleh...there I go finding something else to bitch about.
I make these things in my head into becoming deal-breakers. ie think, "well, if we're never going to be able to talk, or he's just gonna be like his dad, then I don't want to be with him..."
He used to do more stuff with his friends, now a couple of his friends have petered out and I'm doing more w/mine. so, I'm feeling guilty again for no reason. h is the one who thought i should do more w/o him and be less dependent on him.
**trouble: Who AM I???
Of course, I want to have more involvement w/him. We are planning to take a few local bicycle tours over the summer...thought we were getting somewhere.
OK, OK, I have NO patience!!! Came across some old emails of him being mushy and it's making me really sad. will i ever see that man again??
will i ever see that man again??
