Im writing as I would love some insight into what is a very confusing situation. My libra boyfriend (35) and I, (32), have been together for a little over a year. The relationship was going VERY well - he would talk about our future, say how we are the perfect couple etc. Last sunday we spent a wonderful day together and all was beyond excellent. Monday afternoon I suddenly get a blackberry msg from him and he is saying "I can't do this anymore..its too hard for me. I fear that I won't be able to be there for you and that you will leave me for someone else" This went back and forth a bit ( he couldn't get on the phone as he was at work in a meeting), and finally, I conceded to let it go and said, "fine, I guess that is it". He quickly says " I just need time to think...thats all I need..I care about you greatly and fear we will drift apart"
A day later we communicate and he says that he can't stand that there are guys in my life that try to mess with our relationship and he can't do anything about it. I am not someone with a large number of male friends or flirtatious by nature...what he is citing is ONE incident of someone being overly persistent.
In his defense, he was cheated on in his previous LTR and I think he is afraid of it happening again. I have tried to reassure him, but notice he is ALWAYS very insecure about the relationship. I am most certain that no actions on my part contribute to this - he just IS by nature.
He says he still wants time to himself to "think" and "cannot move forward unti he has it" He won't let us say we are broken up though. During our conversation he said outright that he wants a relationship with me and wants to work on this and see what happens.
What is he doing? Other than the obvious of needing to think, which I get - but shouldn't he just KNOW if he wants this or not? If saying he wants it and is willing to work on his insecurities..what more is there to think about? How can he think its fair to keep me on hold like this, waiting in limbo for him to decide what he wants to do. he keeps reiterating how much he cares for me and even apologizes for being so selfish and doing this.
I'm just extremely hurt as this literally came out of nowhere...and despite otherwise being a strong woman, I feel that I am scared to have any hope as he is maybe going to come back and say hes thought about it and is done with us.
ANY advice is greatly appreciated!!
