Yes, I see what you mean, I find it hard to be warm and positive with him even though those are two of my natural attributes. He's good at giving me ETAs, in fact he's usually (always) early. I need an ETD. The issue I have is that he will turn up or I will turn up to a date and the first thing he tells me is what time he's leaving. I feel completely rejected and dismissed by that (especially as my LL is quality time!) and then me getting upset by that colours the rest of our meeting, which I don't want. Hence I asked if he could let me know ahead of time what time he will be leaving (because he is very busy and super time focused so he will definitely know but be expecting me to read his mind or not thinking I care). If he can do that then I can not have expectations which are too high (like today thinking we would spend the afternoon together instead of an hour). And as a result of that I won't feel rejected and then be all unbalanced (which upsets him) So it will be good for him too.
I didn't have time to tell him about my dream, I will try to remember to do that during our walk tomorrow. And maybe that could lead into me asking how I can support him better, because he has 2-3 very busy weeks coming up at work and I know he's exhausted already before that even happens, and that he seems to have problems sleeping and coping with work right now when it's not quite so busy. He did ask if we could go for a run for our date next week, followed by a meal. Our runs so far have been a bit of a pain because he's faster than me and won't slow down, so I have to be ready for speed training
