I brought up the fact that it could be infatuation but he assured me it was not several times. He is a man of intelligence. When i say he is a once in a lifetime man it’s because I have never met one like him. One that matched me on every level from intelligence to parenting to how we respond to past experiences and our outlook on life. He has a hero personality. And he explained to me that he needed to work on his career so he can provide a good life. He is very ambitious. And I villainized him when he was trying to be a hero. He felt bad for not being able to talk to me but i didn’t take it that way because I couldn’t hear the tone of the text. I know what infatuation feels like for me and this is more than that for me.
Yes, he talks negatively about his ex of ten years but he also talks positively at the same time. His needs were not being met. He was not encouraged or allowed to pursue the things that made him happy or interested him. He was always villainized. He did not feel a sense of purpose or accomplishment in the relationship. All the things the course describes of the hero instinct he was not receiving and he does have a hero personality.
