At the time it was kind of nice. It's easy to get along with someone who likes everything you like. haha
But if he wasn't always that way then it's unlikely he is one, I would guess it's more like Dandy said, admires you.
Not sure. As a couple we made a good team (before he relapsed). He kinda mirrored so much of what I did, how I disciplined kids, how I packed lunches. Sometimes I figured he didn't KNOW how to do this stuff so he copied me. When he relapsed that turned into criticism very quickly. Recently, I don't know what he's playing at. Trying to get my appreciation anyway he can.
