If you're anything like me, then it must feel like he's choosing the obnoxious house guest over you right now...that's how I'm feeling in my own situation...and it hurts.
Please try and write down your feelings and possible solutions so that when you talk to him again you don't miss anything.
Still sitting with you.
Thanks brynn; it means so much that you checked in. About an hour ago I thought about our Employee Assistance Program at work and gave them a call and they were able to connect me to a telephone counselor for a free counseling session. We talked for perhaps 30 to 45 minutes, and I feel SO much better. You are actually right on the mark about me feeling like he doesn't get the seriousness of it and that he's choosing the house guest over me. It started out about the house guest and then that's what it ended up being a discussion about. We talked a lot about communication and first getting us on the same page as a team and then handling the house guest situation together.
