That is about the only thing of value I can think of it to say. I suppose you can try reading The Power of Now to help you deal with your attachment, or whatever. |
I've read P.O.N.
Thank you for the other book reccomendation. I'll check it out. How would I know if he has something like manic-depressive disorder?
I watch my folks, and even when they disagree, they can still tap into and remember the positive, remember that they love each other. My current boyfriend can't do that very well at all. When he's in a bad mood, he can't 'see' that the mood colors his experience, and that's a concern. Same with when he's in a good mood - he only identifies with all other past experiences from his current frame-of-mind - if that makes sense
Also, the other day on the phone, he said he doesn't have time for everything and that he's not juggling things very well right now (implying us). I said you're doing very well with everything that's happened. He sounded reflective and regretful, so that gives me hope.
