[QUOTE="buddy, post: 489680, member: 12886"] YOu know Hound, I think you are really on to something. Not being an expert on men, since my dad was the last guy I lived with..lol.... I can say for me, while on the outside I do everything I can for someone when they are sick or hurting.... I emotionally pull WAY back.... to the point that when they die I can hold off crying because I have already detached..... I fell totally apart TWO years after my dear dear grandma died. I had little streams at her funeral, but not the real grief. I can really close off that part of me. I am good at faking it though, I wonder if Tony has a different style... just putting himself into a place of not really being a friend. It is clear from other posts Janet has shared that he truly does love her. maybe with all of their life stress and what Janet went through, his nearly losing her, he is now having a little PTS (I wont say disorder the D but maybe R=reaction) now??? How is that for arm chair psychology? probably dumb, but I can relate to that idea anyway. Doesn't help Janet much in terms of daily living .... he has to realize she is there NOW and nothing is a one answer fix for sure. I wish we could play a tape at night to get it into his subconscious that she needs his support now so that she can be around for a long long time. [/QUOTE]
