We had a really bad childhood, but he was always there to protect me from our abusive father. He got more beatings from our dad than you can imagine, but he was always so strong and he made me feel safe. He is only one year older than me, but I could always rely on him to be responsible and to save me from everything. He was always very sociable and popular in school and he always knew what he was doing. When we finally managed to leave our parent's house he got a job and supported both of us through college.
Now he works as a computer programmer and earns really good money.
But he is not that strong person anymore. He barely goes out (as he works from home), he is quiet (and he never was) and all he still cares about is to hear about my day (we live together, because I am still in college) He is not depressed or anything, but I feel that he feels that there is nothing for him to do anymore, since he doesn't need to be there for me anymore (he said that once)
How do I get him out of this mood without being pushy. (he will not go to councelling or anything, I tried that)
I do make him go ourt with me and my friends but he only does it because I insist and he is not much interested in anything we do. Not even in dating, he only has one night stands.
I don;t know what to do anymore!
