Lamplighter,

I’m curious as to why you say he is taking it too lightly, despite being experienced. I think that’s something that would scare the hell out of me, to become attached, to have really strong feelings about a T only to have them dismissed, not taken seriously, treated as not important enough to be taken properly into account

good question! I think that is getting to the real issue, what you and STRM pointed out earlier, NEEDING the feeling someone - your t - cares because few others do. I don't think that until recently I even knew what that felt like!

Now what I pick up is that he's quite satisfied with what a good job he's doing on my instead! And that hurts like hell, and thinking I may have been mistaken when I though he did care. Yikes!!! Now I may not be picking up anything real here, or mixing stuff up, but that's what I feel anyhow. I dare not hope I am picking up the wrong things here!!! I think I really HATE feeling dependent
