Since we are having a personal relationship, it has shifted into a friendship kind...with him still holding some....boundaries, etc....

I know a lot about him over the past 7 years.....he doesn't say anything negative about the wife or rarely mentions her. I know about his kids, grandkids, father, mother.,....just a little.

I am so sensitive to his nuances, and could tell he wasn't quite himself (just ever so slightly "off") that he ended up admitting he might have cancer (near his eye); I did research on his condition and he had the surgery with a patch (sexy)......same thing happened when his dad died; I asked him what was going on and he said he would tell me if I wanted him to; we are so attuned to each other; which would be natural after all of this time......
