TrEE - Several of us have been asking you to try talking to him about all of this stuff...for a long long time. You were scared to remember?
So...good first step in addressing things. Now...what would be a good way to get the point across with the most likelihood to be successful? You already know this I'm sure but aren't too sure about it for whatever reasons.
I also wondered...is one of your worries that maybe if he has to "give something up", that you may then be expected to reciprocate? And you aren't so sure you want to give anything up?
Just curious. Anyway, just remember that regardless of what you do, you will most likely get enough static to make you wonder if it's worth it. It is. Who knows? Maybe he'll totally surprise you. In a good way.
