Aw, I'm so glad you took the time to read this. : J It really means a lot to me.
I don't think he's manipulating me and I wrote up a really long reply about it but I realized it was just kind of impressionistic and incoherent. He's actually fairly passive in our relationship and the most hurtful thing he does is not talk to me when he's depressed or busy with things. I can tell he's earnestly trying his best most of his time.
And of course there'll be future entries! I'll be posting as long as I have people who are interested in hearing about this stuff. : J
