G - My best friend from K lives in Nashville, it's a very fun city. Go enjoy yourself! I was there last summer.
I wonder if some of this stuff falls into the love language category. If I remember one of yours is quality time???? Maybe he doesn't know how important it is to you. I assume he hasn't done the work that we all have so maybe that is a part of it? Could this be a learning experience for him?
You all go on vacation with his mom and son so that would tell me he does love you, care about you etc. I am not doing that if I don't love/care about someone. So I kind of lean towards this is who he is, the newness has worn off and he is comfortable. I think the coach could help him
How do you feel when you are around him? Happy, sad, on eggshells, like the only woman in the room????
I applaud you for standing up for yourself and expressing what you need.
