Re: Sleeping too much

..that's pretty confronting re airport scenario.. well for me .. may have wished there was 'some easy way out' if somehow things re upsidedown re plane .. yeah, been there if that's what you meant, hate to to say it ..it's all fear-based.. what if what if, and then expecting someone else to hold your hand.. ffs easy to get get cab, get another flight etc etc ...that's confronting..that poor woman ..at the time.. @Faith-and-Hope

@TAB

Yeah ... he does .... 😏

Its like he's lost in a maze somewhere in his mind .... but he's still in there .... just doesn't realise that it's taken over his life .... just sees it that he's made the ultimate "sea change" .... and it looked like that for a long time when you couldn't see all the obsessiveness and relationship breakdown happening around it at home.

So he's carrying on with what he thinks is normal .... which means calling to tick boxes .... say hello .... get commitments met ... say goodnight .... like a to-do list .... which is what The Regimen is .... same list every day .... exactly .... same thing, same time, same way, every aspect .... needs 24 hour warning to adjust anything .... stressed if the routine gets disrupted ....

Has spilled over into the wider family awareness now tho .... and they're really worried, but can't do anything either ... can see them going through the same process we did .... trying to gently enquire whether he should ... maybe .... be reconsidering what he's doing ? Has he run this or that by the doctor ? Can't he just bend a little bit over this or that ? Isn't he .... maybe ... being a bit too extreme .... ??

And they're not seein' the half of it !!

Re: Sleeping too much

@fairh-and-hope, some serious control issues happening there. Wouldn't mind the man of the house taking control, if it was fair, but he seems all over the place emotionally, and not even around most the time. No fair! I take my hat off to you F&H.
