I think I'm glad he cares. Because it's so hard for me to believe he does, probably. So any indication that he does means a lot to me.
Our biggest move forward in therapy was when he winced when I talked about suicide. It seemed very genuine, because it wasn't a stagey enormous wince. It was more a private wince. I was so touched I offered him my promise not to kill myself without calling him first to give him a chance to "help", as long as he was my therapist.
I told him much much later that the huge irony was that this enormous event in our relationship could have been caused by a twinge of gas, or a foot cramp, and might have had absolutely nothing to do with the topic of conversation. He earnestly assured me that the wince was due to what I said, that he remembered the conversation. As if I'd believe **that**! :)
