Just make sure you don't let yourself become a doormat, be there but don't let him walk all over you.  |
I especially agree with the bolded part. Its a tricky line to walk. You want to be supportive but you don't want to be taken advantage of either. And there is no reason for you to feel like an ass for being upset. You have more than patient with him and if he had sent this email to you two weeks ago then you would have been willing to give him his space. He's done nothing to communicate what's going on with him. I am glad that you finally got a real response from him. Good luck.
