{{{Dave and sj}}} Dave's understandably upset and he's talking it through with you. Which, personally, I think is better than if he clammed up and seethed silently. That would drive you CRAZY, no? My best advice is to nod a lot and say, "I know, honey" every once in a while. Or maybe just kiss him on the forehead and say, "It'll be okay, as long as we go through it together."
But... I'm not in a relationship so listening to me could be hazardous. Filled with hazard!
Sick of work and tomorrow will be u-g-l-y. I don't wanna go back there. Someone kill me now (but bring me back to life for the F2F though).
Great. Now I've earwormed myself with Evanescence. Crap.
