BF had terrible week. Father dies last weekend, he had to fire someone and they ate a bullet.

And I'm a bitchy blonde. I was just horrified for him I didn't even know how to respond but he likes that I bitch. For some reason it makes him laugh. I just feel bad for being horribly insensitive to his needs but he's an EE and doesn't talk about stuff much.

1. You're there for him.

Sometimes that's enough to keep a person going.

Sorry to hear of the troubles.

2. I think he felt let down tonight but we talked about it.

I had no clue and I'm extremely self centered at times. Fortunately he likes that.

3. Sounds like you're good for him. Not insensitive at all. When I feel bad, I'd lots rather roll in

gallows humor than have someone try to pat me on the back and say, "There, there...."

4. I hope so, he seems to like me a lot.

But I'm such a bitch sometimes.

5. I doubt you are too much or he wouldn't still be there. Maybe it makes him feel good because you

can get mad at him (or act like it) and still stay. Reminds him to feel secure.

Awful about the suicide, but it almost surely wasn't his fault. If the person really had to be fired, and this was not some injustice, they might've been acting out and would've done what they did in any case, fired or otherwise. I've often read that suicide is the most aggressive thing you can do to people.

6. Tried to tell him, he acted like it didn't bother him but how could it not.

Just awful for him.
