So I'm updating this today because we kind of touched on the subject a little during a text message exchange. I am a coward and still haven't had the nerve to come right out and have a real talk with him about it yet, but what we discussed briefly today was worth updating the thread for, I believe.
I texted him earlier to see how he was. I haven't been sleeping well lately--no reason, just a side effect of being a bipolar with multiple sleep disorders--so we were both lamenting about how tired we were.
I told him it felt my brain was swimming through molasses, trying to get things done, and I asked if he ever felt that way. He said yes, that's why he can never get his house clean. I told him my offer to help with that was still good. He said that he appreciated it, and I teasingly said, "You have a service-oriented kitten, Daddy. You should use her to your advantage."
His reply was pretty telling. He said, "It's a matter of having the energy to entertain."
Yeah, pretty sure I called that one months ago.
I explained to him that he didn't have to entertain me, and I never wanted him to feel like he has to perform for me. I told him I would be happy just coming over, rubbing his back, putting him to bed, and going home.
He said, "Thank you, kitten," and then the conversation went elsewhere. But I hope I got my point across. One day, I'll have the balls to have a Real Conversation with him about it (maybe), but for now, I'm gonna hope he understands what I was saying.
