Thought I'd be prying to ask too much more... I don't know why this makes a difference to me, but it does. Hard to explain.

That I was a passive recipient of his information. But a few times in the last months I have actually asked him stuff about his life. After all, we have a relationship, it should be OK for me to ask. And he answered just fine. It was a big step for me. But once I asked something and I felt a bit of a wall. There's a boundary. I'm sensitive, so I backed off. It is like a regular relationship, having to sense when is too much, the liberties you can take, etc. It's a dance. It's real life.
