"The talk we had was a very good one, I felt. He opened up a lot about a lot of things. I'm trying to just be a friend right now....sometimes I really can DETACH from it all, put my personal feelings aside and try to be a good friend because this is about HIM right now and not our relationship or it's outcome."
Wow, this is a great description of why detaching actually allows you to be more loving and more emotionally open and intimate with someone. And, for all those listening, notice that is has NOTHING to do with caring about the person less or not wanting the person in your life.
Anyway, I admire you for handling this so well. Even though you must be exhausted and feel a bit of a wreck, you really are handling this with compassion and understanding toward both of you.
