Thank you both. I do try to be part of his interests. Actually his interests are very interesting to me and I would love to participate. Some days he's better. Then it comes back. But he finds it annoying and I often feel like I embarrass him. His friends have actually said they like having me around, but he doesn't want me around them because he says I'm spying. I'm not spying. I want friends too. It is good to have some mutual friends.

I think he fears I'll say something embarrassing. But I'm actually pretty funny and I"m not dumb... and especially in type I'm a good communicator, much better than verbally.

Thanks for listening.
