Hi Nadezda,
He probably doesn't even remember saying that he cares about me, but can't care for me. If I were to point out how his feelings must have grown for me, because he now says, "I care about you and I care for you", he might feel the need to invoke therapist's disclaimers. Hate that! LOL!
I think for him "care for" means to have personal, intimate feelings attached to it, and that's why he used to say that he couldn't care for me. I'll have to analyze this with him when the time's right. It's hard but I've been trying to focus on my issues and not "his and mine". Sigh...
Thanks.
