Thanks, meApe. It's a bit hard to tell whether he's been sharing the most intimate details of his life - again, somewhere where reading minds might be useful. He has shared something with me that I don't think he's told anyone else, though - and has asked me not to share it with anyone either - so that could count. I have friends whom I've known for years and I would never consider telling them about this because I just don't think they'd "get it", but as bad as it sounds I feel closer to him than I do to any of them, so I'd like to think that he'd be different...
