Acetylene, I appreciate you taking the time to write such a thorough response. It's definitely a difficult thing to face, I'd rather this be something wrong with me so at least I could work toward fixing it! I hope that maybe my perspective is still skewed enough that it's painting a crappy picture of him, but when everyone in my life keeps telling me the same thing, I start losing that.
I think if I could pinpoint the problem, it would just have to do with owning up to responsibilities, which is something he doesn't do. I hate outlining things for him waiting for it to be "good enough." I'm far too soft to give the constant pushing that it seems he wants. He tells me I'm exactly the same, which I don't really perceive myself being. I am a terrible procrastinator, but I don't know if I'm on par with the behavior I've described from him.
