What's going on with this scorpio

Hi This is a reasonably long story, so sorry If I bore anyone.
Well myself and this Scorpio have been friends seven years. In June we ended up connecting at our best friends wedding he mirrored every movement I made,was acting jealous etc. He ended up staying at mine that night just cuddling talking it took us by surprise but didn't feel weird, he stayed the rest of the next day helped me with gardening I cooked him breakfast etc.
The next weekend he was round again we ended up getting intimate. The following weekend he came round again we shared concerns and we said maybe we should just be friends but ended up getting intimate again and this time it was more passionate. This went on for some weeks. I had a party and things went badly wrong with my 17year old daughter and she started shouting at us both. After a while of him staying talking to her etc he went and said we should still be together but to be more discrete. I myself have not had a relationship for five years, we had before this spent time going out for drives him sharing with me intimate secrets etc.We didn't see each other for nearly two weeks after the party in which time I spent time trying to make my daughter grow up and accept I have a life and that this man is a good person also explaining to him what was happening. He text me saying can he come over and can I be alone so I arranged this we spent an amazing time together he started talking about what if in three years he wants baby's I'm ten years older then him, I was honest and said I don't know till we got to that point because I feel it's still fresh. Anyway he came over three nights that week spent an amazing time together. He would say things like let's make love not have sex. Also would we cope being totally alone for five days with no-one else just us two and I said sounds good. Anyway we also ended up slipping up during sex and he started saying how great our baby would be but I'm just going back to university after bringing my children up and working and said not now. Anyway we have still been texting but I could feel him backing off we have text and he has been getting cold so I said if he needs time to sort his life out he should do that because he said he isn't in a good place right now. He sent a text saying he couldn't be with anyone right now and he is always so depressed etc sending me really dark texts during these I have always told him what a lovely person he is. Sent one the other day because I feel for him a lot a

Cotd. Basically telling him I was sad it's all been texting but I feel we obviously both have a lot going on in our lives and he doesn't need my added chat and to save my sanity I think we should stop texting as it's been about three weeks now and that we I wanted to still be friends and I care for him but I need to do this to stay focussed on thing's that have taken me years to try to get to. He text back saying he got scared because he felt I wanted more I don't get it I never once expressed wanted more I have been totally honest. It seems each time I pull out and agree to leave he start's texting with constant questions and last night even arguing in the text. I sent the last text last night because he has misunderstood and now it's back to silence. So I am going to ignore because it's been driving me crazy Can't put everything in here it's too much. Basically I don't want us to hate each other but if he hates me so be it. It's a shame because I don't feel I have been anything but honest shown I care given him what he want's and he even text yesterday saying he had tried to contact an ex someone I know to apologize about their relationship. Why is he telling me this I do not need to know, It's a shame because I have always had a lot of respect for him and now he is killing it 😢

I doubt many will read a wall of text. Perhaps you can break it into paragraphs so it's readable?

Seems like he really wants a baby with you.And..he wants a baby with you but not a relationship?Dooesnt sound right at all.A good lovely man would not be this selfish.I severly doubt his character.And the ol depression excuse... but I'm sure that is cured when he is intimate with you? This reeks of commitment phobia to me.Tough thing to do but walk away after you say what you have to.Lay it out how it has to be and walk away,ball in his court.No more texting,it's decision time.
