Hey GH- Thanks for the feedback...always helps to get a guys perspective. Yes, i did want to reach through the phone and shake him. I was so tempted to say to him "if you miss me so much and loved me and you're so lonely, then what the f... is the problem?" But, i figured that wouldn't be good DBing. I don't know if my goal was to be detached during the exchange. I just didn't know what to say or do. I didn't want to push him, but i also wanted him to really feel these emotions. Whats it gonna be like for him when i am not there anymore? You know what i mean? Has he done this before? There have been times, in the past, when he will call me up, late at night b/c he doesn't feel well or can't sleep. I have gotten 1 or 2 other late night, drunken phone calls, but the last one i can remember wasn't like this. I don't know what to make of it. I imagine that these are his true feelings, otherwise why would he call me up at midnight? Right? Or am i just reading too much into things? God, this is agony!
