Yeah, it does seem like it should be so obvious! I think he was just more concerned about me ending up *too* attached to him, like in an ex-MC situation. But I feel like there's a happy medium. I mean, I guess ideally that would be "secure attachment," but pretty sure I'm not at that place yet, with T or most anyone... At least T seems to be getting it now...
I had mentioned in another thread e-mailing him to possibly change the day I'm seeing him next week, since he's out Monday/Tuesday. In his response to me, he added that after next week he'll be there one his regular schedule till he's out 2 days in mid-August. So he was reassuring me about that without my coming right out and asking. That's the sort of thing that makes me think he gets it more now.
