Ok I met this Cancer Man a few months ago, he is 47 (9 years older then me). After about a week of talking/texting he came down to go out. He would say things like I know I am going to marry you and I want to get married soon. 2 days after our first date was my birthday, he came down and spent the day with my family and me. He then pops the question, with a beautiful flawless 1/2 carat diamond ring. I was shocked but I knew there was something special with this man so I said yes. So the very next day, I meet his 24 year old son and his wife. They accepted me right away (he lives with them to help them out financially). Well his living accomodations were not good, he just slept on a mattress in a his grandsons room. I made a comment about if he paid 1/2 of the rent he should of had his own room. Apparently his dautgher in law over heard and got her feelings hurt. I didn't mean to offend her. Well needless to say she mentioned it to him and he went right into his shell. He didn't call me for a few days and when he text he would say things like I am not going anywhere I just need sometime to think. So after a few days he came around and was normal again only to tell me that he didn't feel anything and he couldn't go through with the enagement. I was shocked/hurt, so I returned the ring to him a few weeks later and just went on with my life. He then started to text me again but this time he was different with me. He started to talk about sex and how he wanted to with me. Me being a Virgo, I am very cautious about everything, so it didn't feel right. But I still cared for him so I went along. He said he needed to get to know me better to see if he felt anything. Well needless to say we talked everynight before bed, sometimes all night. So I felt comfortable enough to go away for a romantic weekend. That weekend was great, romantic, sleeping in each others arms, laughing and joking. It felt right and good to be with him. Once we left eachother I didn't hear from him until a few days later I get a text that says Sorry I didn't feel anything between us. I was shocked again....Now he wants to spend another weekend together.

I am confused can someone give me advise.............

hey there MsImpala -
ick. what a pickle. let's think about the most important thing here and that is YOU. how do you feel? do you feel rejected? because if you do, this shouldn't even be a question. i've experienced this as well as done it myself (yes, i am a shit for that). there are a few scenarios:

1) he's lonely
2) he's on the fence and obvs feels something, but doesn't know what to do so he wants to try again. there was a connection and he wants to see if he can get it back
3) he was testing you and you didn't respond and say NOOOO!!!!! and still wants to try

Don't allow him to confuse you.
He's saying and doing whatever and you are allowing it. His mind and emotions sound to be all over the place.
The next time he makes contact answer it and tell him that whatever he's doing, you aren't going to do it with him.
Then take no other correspondence from him.
Give him a reality check. HE'S the one with all the confusion not you. You know what you want he doesn't.

Nope.

Lunar Maiden is sooooo right.

If he's pulling this at 47 there's no hope. Retarded: He wants you because he thought you lost interest and as soon as you show him you care and give a 2nd chance he's out.
Then he wants a 3rd chance, truest form of jackass.

It will be easier to start fresh with someone new now than let this guy damage you for a few years until you realize he will never be the way he was in the beginning.
Don't even regret giving your opinion about the room because if it wasn't that one sentence it would've been the next one. Someone so flip floppy will never get better
I've seen my friend's aunt go through something similar (not a cancer but a man who rushed in too quick then pushed and pulled for ages) just forget it.

PS Now she is happily married to someone who loves and respects her.

Sweet Jeeezus! He's a Narcissistic nightmare, they love to devalue and discard their targets yet keep their hooks in your back by creating feelings of codependency through creating feelings of love but he's not in love at all--he said he didn't feel anything, TRUST AND BELIEVE HE MEANT IT. Don't be a fool, get out now, run!

Possibly true Virogdreamz

Can't teach a 47 year old man what love is, can't show a 47 year old man how to trust, he has a wife, kid, he know what love is, he know how to trust--he got married for goodness sake's and you have to trust to get married so there is no showing him anything that he hasn't experienced already.

I'm not sure what game he's running your way but you better wake up and run in the opposite direction...

Um... Ew. Hes basically saying I dont feel anything for you but lets fuck ok? and youre basically allowing this behavior so dont come in here complaining when youve gotten too involved. Hes letting you know whats up. I say get over him and move on, youve only known the nutjob for a short period of time so kick his ass to the curb and find someone better before its too late
