OMG YES! Mine does the "look" thing too. When I'm feeling particularly upset or vulnerable, I tend to talk looking at the wall next to his head, or his shoes, or the floor. Anything but his face. BUT, when I chance a quick look at him, I realize he's kind of staring. It's an intense kind of look, almost as if he can see beyond my skin and straight into my skull. It's kind of studious too and sometimes his eyes travel from my eyes to my mouth, to my forehead, to my fidgety hands. For all its intensity, it doesn't really put me off because it feels safe. I don't think anyone has ever looked at me like that before. When I cry a lot, his look becomes a little....alarmed? But also compassionate. Somehow even more intense. I don't really know how to describe it. It's definitely different. I agree with what you wrote about him not looking away like one would normally do in a typical social situation. Very peculiar. I wonder what Ts generally think when they get that intense look on their face.
