Thanks for your input HBW and R2C, I appreciate the support.
Something is definitely up, but I'm trying really hard to detach from the situation and let him go through whatever he is going through right now. It's so hard. In my head it seems so easy, it makes sense, but actually doing it as we are living under the same roof is hard. I fight the urge to ask him if he is ok and I try to give him space, but our home is not that big, haha.
His interactions with me are strange. He peeked in my room this morning and smiled and asked how long I had been up, he noticed my light on, but didn't even stand there long enough to hear a response. The rest of the morning was limited conversation and a quick goodbye. Most often his interactions start off cold, then he starts to tell me about something and it becomes a normal convo, but then it ends quick and cold.
Probably temp checking when he says things like, "I'm not going to be around on Sunday, golf work thing, blah, blah, blah...not that it affects you, just wanted to let you know...." I just respond with an OK, sounds like fun....
I continue to read on here how the only way DB will work is if I let him go, fully detach, truly implement DB, but I struggle. I struggle with what should I do- Do I sit and listen as he tells stories about work, etc., engage in conversation? Or, do I make myself less available to him? I feel like the latter is the thing to do so he can begin to recognize what life will be like without me, even as his friend. Yet, I do not want to seem cold. It is so hard to figure out the balance.
