Oh of course! I just wanted to provide another perspective.

yeah.. lol.. I like it.

I will add that I thought that the pacing thing in this specific case was being done during a video call zoom or whatever is in vogue now. Since they have been separated for a few years. He is doing it in his room , she is not there. That is why I said it was self soothing behavior.

If a lug is standing in front of me and adopts a postural threat and starts repetitive actions that foretell of imminent danger, then that is something else.
But I got the impression that she is in Idaho (?) and he is in Kentucky (?) or overseas or somewhere else. I have no idea the specific places,,, just continuing the conversation.
