Twinleaf,
You are so spot-on!!! Eating with him does give me a sense of increased intimacy, while I'm assuming mother/lover roles for a moment. I do end up feeling closer to him during and afterwards.
It is my way of acting out "loving feelings", and unconsciously, I must not want to discuss what it means to share food with him because then I might have to give it up.
Such complex and intense emotions over what seems pretty normal and innocent on the surface...interesting how the mind works...
I don't know if I want to add this issue to the mix yet, since we've been working so well together lately. I'm really starting to make positive changes in my life. It's tremendously helped that he makes me feel like he cares about me in so many ways. I must feel cared about when we eat together.
Thank you for your insight Twinleaf. I really appreciated. I thought you might be a scientist after reading your previous posts, but now I think you might be a therapist.
