Thank you Vera. That makes a lot of sense. I know he doesn't feel safe with me because I'm too close.

You know I never have asked him what he needs to hear from me. I will give some space for a bit and then ask.

He started coming a little closer this week and then I messed it up again with my words. I feel like I'm back to square one. So I deeply value your insight.

Yeah, I need some luck here.

Take care of yourself.
