Thank you. And yes I totally see where you're coming from.
However, if the tables were turned and he was feeling this way and couldn't communicate this with me I'd feel so hurt by that.
I can't keep on pretending to him I'm ok. He's knows something isn't right. He's asked a few times, he even dug a bit suggesting topics that could have been on my mind such as friends family work is etc. If he'd had asked if I'm having problems with ME then I'm pretty sure I would have just broken down and spilled it all.
I'm not mad at him at all for not asking the RIGHT things, it's just makes it a little easier if you know what I mean... To have someone prompt a little to get you started
