I suppose I should have added that after I burst into sobs he asked what was this about, finally reassured me that everything would be ok, and awkwardly patted my arm.
I was the one who asked if he held back on challenging me, and when he admitted he did, suggested that he do it more. Sometimes I worry we've gotten too comfortable and that I might get better faster if we upped the ante. And I do want him to continue. I guess it won't be much help though if I can't hear or remember what he's saying and lose my verbal abilities. But maybe after that happens a few times, I'll start handling it better. And I really don't want him to get as "frustrated" (read angry) as he did when I fell apart.
I'm afraid he thinks I'm faking it. I guess I'll have to ask him that today.
Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement, Poet and Susan.
