I'm not sure Mark... I reckon people warm to you more when you're honest, and you can tell when someone is scared anyway. If someone tells me that they are scared of whatever it is, at least I can interpret their behaviour correctly?
I agree with ya here Hazel. I get frustrated when my husband and I are going through a rough patch and he shows no fear. It comes across as not caring at all. I don't want him to be riddled with fear and render himself incapacitated by it, but it's nice to know that he at least cares. I don't feel like I am overreacting, making a big deal out of nothing, or all alone when he lets me know that he is scared too. The comfort from that alone makes the situation easier to deal with because I know that I am not alone. Am I making sense?
