I don't want him to shut up and take it, I want him to GIVE IT TO ME RAW. But the dude is so FUCKING complacent in his bullshit existence that all he does is act as if actually spilling his feelings would burn him.
It is dude, I had to take a step back. 'cause I'm getting SICK of the constant turn around.
No shit, I've tried to say it any which way and he just goes "I'm sorry, Dirk. I'm sorry, Dirk." Shut UP, dude.
You know if there's a reason for the apologizing? Is he projecting his own feelings on how you feel or is he referencing a similar encounter he's had in the past?
I don't know at all what is going on in his head, because he locks that shit deep. And I'm in here. So that says a whole fucking lot about the situation I'm stuck in.
Sounds like stonewalling. I don't really want to know the details, it's not my place. I also don't know how well my advice can be considering my own history. If it's important to you, you'll make it known. If it's important to him, he'll try to adjust himself accordingly.
