My bf told me today he is so sad that I have been so anxious this week. Generally, he tolerates my "research" but he said that if nothing happens this upcoming week, he wants me to go back to my old happy, relaxed self. He doesn't really know much about this stuff and is a really "logical, rational person" who needs to see evidence to believe something. It has been a strain on our relationship. I feel bad for him but I am compelled to read other perspectives on what's going on currently in our economy and be knowledgable and aware. I am doing it for both of us. I am doing it to protect us. I think he will be grateful to me if SHTF. I can't explain to him what my gut tells me -- that many different sources can't all be wrong about this stuff. That I am viscerally FEELING a change of tension in people around me. He needs to SEE something to believe it. OH well! That's why we work well together. Me=empath, He=scientist.
