As it turns out, I did not need to talk to him after all. My fiance did. He sat him down one day and they talked for a long time about the way they saw things and how difficult it was for us to reconcile no longer believing in convenience and having him in our lives.
Would you believe he listened? Would you believe he agreed? Would you believe that he plans on taking a solitary journey much like the one I took in the hopes that, like me, he will find a deeper meaning in the interactions he has with others?
I would not have. Then he surprised us. Amazing when that happens. It's moments like this that little by little restore my faith in others. No grand gestures. No promises. Just simple chats and seeing things from the perspectives of others.
And even if he finds different results, as long as what he believes makes him happy, and not only on the surface, that is what will matter the most. :)
