I see. I don't pretend to know or understand the full scope of what either of you went through, but I have to imagine it was quite something, for the both of you. Things you've witness, things you've experience, it has to shape and mold you in different ways. All of that has a certain degree of impact. Perhaps it leaves a mark. Leave enough marks, deep ones, and perhaps it changes you. Afterwards, I imagine there can be some frustration in not being the person we once were. Whether that is about what he assumes you would want or if it is more about his own struggles in not feeling like himself, as he previously was, that must feel like pressure.
