The Language of He’s:


Him: So, uh, how are you. You know?
He: Pretty good.
Him: So, good?
He: Yeah. I guess. You know.
Him: Considering. Yeah…..And she?
He: Well…that’s. You know how it is.
Him: Hanging in there?
He: Yeah. I guess. Hard to say. What can you do?
Him: Right. You know. We can talk. About it. If you want.
He: Good. Yeah, that’s good.
Him: Yeah. Good. OK. It’s a bitch, right?
He: Yeah. Not much fun, really.
Him: Sucks.
He: That’s for sure.
Him: But what can you do?
He: Right.
Him: So. You handling it?
He: Yeah. I can handle it. Right now I’m handling it.
Him: Alright….Want another?
He: Sure. Why not? I mean….why not?

Some time later, back at the ranch:
Her: So…how is He?
I’m really worried. You know how worried She is about him. You know what they’re going through. He must be devastated. He’s always been such a sensitive guy. And now with everything coming crashing down, and now this, this again. Oh, I just don’t know. How is He? What can we do? What’s going to happen if She doesn’t do well…if She doesn’t make it. He’ll break into a million pieces. He’ll be lost without her.
Him: True. It’ll be ugly.
Her: Well…what did you guys talk about? How can we help? I know He cries and cries. I’ve heard him. He is such a wonderful guy. This is so unfair. He doesn’t eat. He drinks too much. He’s like a zombie at work. I’m so glad you could talk. I know how important it is to him. He needs to be able to talk to someone. So, you had a heart-to-heart. How is He?
Him: Handling it. I guess.
