Since Mike has changed, he seems to have no problem making me feel uncomfortable. He used to be cognizant of things like this. Not long ago, I was in the doorway to the bedroom talking to my partner. Mike walks up behind me to talk to T and while standing directly behind me he grabs me and holds me by the shoulders as if he was about to bend me over, while looking right at my partner.
He likes to stand in my bubble now, and inch closer as he talks. He likes to repeat things he’s told me over and over now like my father does. It seems like he learned all these things about me and earned my respect just so he could actually do them. When we used to sit at lunch together at work, he would joke with me about me being a bear he was poking with a stick going “pokey, pokey, pokey”. I always thought it was in the context of me being a grumpy person when I first awake. Anymore, I don’t know.
