Quote: Somedays it is very, very hard to act as if, when what I'd really like to do is have a meaningful discussion with him, about how he is coping, about why the spontaneity has seeped out of our relationship. But, none of this will get us closer, so we let sleeping dogs lie, for now. I just hope he is ready soon.
Patience, patience, patience. Oh yeah, and did I mention patience,Slowly?
If you need some spontaneity, create some for yourself. Maybe NG is not comfortable with it right now. It sounds to me like he's seeking a lot of security and spontaneity can wreck havoc on security.
