I have discussed with him the pattern of opening up, getting an emotional reaction from him and then needing to take care of him. He did not see the same pattern, but acknowledged that I engage in "misguided caretaking." I think the truth is that he is an intensely emotional person and since I am more reserved, I think what is "normal" from him comes across to me as a severe reaction to what I am saying or doing. I just need to accept him a little more and trust that he takes care of himself. Easier said than done!
