Some day, he admired the effects of my GAL but used it as a weapon against me. He said that this only proved that I didn't took his former expectations seriouly. I have no clue how to interpret this, how to react on this and whether I have to adjust something regarding my GAL if he is reacting in such a way.


Don't react. That is the point of LRT, GAL and detachment. Do not react. He is acting out in this way because he feels that you GAL to try to manipulate him. You show him that is not the case by being consistent in action. NOT WORDS. Do not say to him "I am GAL because I have to move on." You just show him by continuing to GAL. But the key here is DO NOT REACT.
