As far as trying to put the story together. I am still giving my subconscious time for figuring out what's causing the change. If I don't know exactly what's going on with the change, and whether it's temporary or permanent, I can hardly take action in a responsible manner.

Of course, even if it is a temporary change, I still can't go on like in the past. That still needs changed.

But one thing I've found from the past is he insulted himself in the same way a good while ago when he was feeling down. He actually was quite vulnerable with me there. (I supported and encouraged him in return....)

I'll have to think more on all this. If anyone has any thoughts on the kind of change in relationships that I've described, I'd be very interested in that, otherwise thanks very much for all the help and support I've been given here.
