If you believed that this was his nature, did this not bring you pause? Now, you see that it is who he is or chooses to exhibit. I have two takes on why he hasn't contacted you. 1. He is hoping to 'punish' you as CaliforniaGirl said. He may be thinking or playing this game where he feels letting you sweat a bit will make you come to your senses. He already knows you like him as you have had sex with him multiple times despite your misgivings and his behavior. 2. Pre-emption.

Then that leads to my question who said i was going to break up with him? sorry for the questions just trying to understand Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes people's behaviour is inexplicable. We can make all the guesses in the world, but only he knows why. And even if he was able to articulate the reason, chances are it wouldn't make sense anyway. I would suggest just chalking him up as being hard to understand and walking away.

basil67 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Another guess among many is that he could be the kind who self sabotages relationships. Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Did we not say, dump this weirdo already? Clingy, jealous, passive aggressive....you don't need that. Like I said before if it doesn't feel right it's not. This guy's underhanded comments earn him a kick to the curb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Starswillshine Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Sounds like this guy is pretty insecure. He is making jokes to play off his worries. He may be pulling away from you because he senses you are dating someone else, and that might be why he is ignoring you. Link to post Share on other sites

That is all an assumption i didn’t answer when he asked about other guys because i felt the questions was dumb. If I’m laying here with you and trying to spend time with you why are you asking about someone else... he wasn’t communicating what he wanted but i wasn’t keeping my options open Link to post Share on other sites

I dont mean to imply that you are dating someone, just that he fears that you are dating someone else. Doesnt excuse the behavior. Just giving some insight because after having been cheated on and been a fool for so long... I sorta made the same mistakes. Same "jokes", same pulling away. Etc. I almost ruined a really good relationship over it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I actually liked him to be honest I don't know whether anyone here can adequately advise you on how to win back someone who at least from your side of the story seems mentally ill and who very well may wind up eventually harming you for doing something ordinary. Truly I don't know what the win-back advice is for a situation like this. Link to post Share on other sites

He asked what he did for a reason. You blowing it off gave him an answer, that it isn’t any of his business if you are seeing someone else. So, if he thought you were then he stopped the relationship because he doesn’t think you are committed to it. Link to post Share on other sites
