Just curious, if I may ask, what is the story with T? How did you two meet? How long have you been dating now?

Ops just now realised that I have misspelt your 'name' and can't edit it..sorry.

This got buried on the second page, so I didn't see it until today.

Yes - I think sharing a difficult time with someone is a great way to see another side of him. How a person handles stress now is hugely telling about his character later. I dated a guy last year who was confident, amazing and strong -- or at least I thought he was based on those first impressions. Then, he hit a terrible time at work, and everything else fell apart. He just caved, and it's a big part of why we broke up. He just didn't feel like trying in any area of life because the work part was so bad.

Good luck. I hope it goes well. And good for you for telling him to back off with the critical comments -- that's a good sign that you can tell this guy what you really think/feel.

Maybe not always a good thing...Either he calls tonight and I say things I shouldn't (because I don't have nice words for anyone today...too stressed out) or he doesn't and I'm pissed because he said he would and didn't.

LOL. I'm in that same crabby mood - I understand. Nothing seems right or good enough in these moods, eh? :)

Good luck with the papers.
