chill chic Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 He's had a hard life & I believe he feels he doesn't amount to anything. For example he's always had a problem with not making the major leagues for a full contract, he's 32 & struggling to get financially stable. I can tell he has alot of stuff built up inside him, that is yearning to come out. He actually just moved back home(not my town anymore) because he feels more comfortable back with his family & friends. I live in the city, he now lives back in his small town. He couldn't get used to the city life too, & that's why he felt like he had to move back home & to save money because it's expensive. Anyway, the thing is, he met me, & I don't think he'd meet someone like me while he was here for 2 yrs (I've known him for 1). I've told him through email how proud I am of him & that he can talk to me about anything. When we were in person, he kinda clammed up, so hopefully through email or phone he can start to realize that he can trust me with anything. Will he eventually come around? Oh yah he even told me he relates to the song, "Weathered" by Creed. If you've ever heard that song it might make sense. What else can I do? Do you think he realizes that I care? How long will it take for him to finally confide in me? I'll tell ya this though, he's got that ego shield/tough guy thing about him, so if he knew that a girl was trying to soften him up, would he appreciate it?
magichands Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 That's a tough nut to crack. You see, you only really believe something because you think it's true - not because someone tells you it's true. Maybe that's a silly thing to say. Anyway, I think all you can do is be supportive. He's going to have to make peace with himself. It will help him to know that you're on his side though!
