I was supportive. He wasn't really the smily type. Not with me, but not with anyone else, either. Sometimes we would seem harmonious in doing things side by side. An awful lot of the time he would express head circles about people being flakes or whatever, though. I'd listen and be supportive...

But his *****ing was hard for me to take, yeah.

He seemed surprised at how supportive I was. Said he realized how his past girlfriends really were quite self absorbed and narcissistic. He seemed to like that I was supportive.

Maybe the problem was: Role reversal. He was a support for them... But this time around I was the support for him. Maybe that didn't help him feel better so much as it encouraged him to do the head circles as he thought that was the dynamic nature of our relationship. Maybe the thought is: Someones gotta do it. Whereas for me... The support should be mutual such that we feel better about (and take better care of) ourself... Enough of the *****ing already...
