Unsure

[Confused81]

Been dating guy for few months. I don't even know if it's even considered dating. We txt non stop. He has been divorced 3 times. Has a 7 yr old son. I can picture myself with this man forever. I do love him. Problem is he quits talking to me for days at a time then comes back apologizing saying he is broken don't know if he can love again. I stay there sometimes but not if kid there. Only way that is allowed is he has to be sleeping before i get thereand i have to leave before he wakes up. I have spent time with his kid and get along great. Says don't want confuse him by having me there yet and then possibly walking away. I can understand that. We have talked about our future living together etc. But if i tell him i need more now or how i feel he goes missing again. I need more than texting and seeing him 1 or 2 days a week. We have went out a few times even with his son so what's' the deal. Is he really interested in me or just playing me. Is he that scared of being hurt again? This is wearing me out being on and off. Messing with my feelings. I want to stay but part of me says just walk away.

The fact is that he has been through a lot when it comes to relationship. So, he's skeptical about falling in love again, in order not to get broken hearted again. He isn't playing you, but he's trying to be careful with his decision.

l will suggest you take it easy with him and be patient.

People who have been through divorce find it difficult to love again. So, if he isn't giving you the love and attention you need, it's best you leave him and date someone else. You might be wasting your time been with him.

I think he's experiencing difficulty in trusting in relationships more than his trust if being difficult to find in you, per se. People fresh out of divorce need time. I feel like if you offer him patience and show him your affection in gentle ways, reassure him with indirect words (Just things that are generally reassuring like you liking xyz about him which show you get along opposed to blunt "we get along so well!") and he'll come around. This IS difficult for someone in your shoes, though, so don't feel guilty if you need to call it off until he's healed a little more and then see if he's still available to try again later in your life.
