I called him today and spoke for like 20 minutes everything seems normal but he did get off the phone because he was drives for a living and was in a bad area. That’s the thing I don’t understand he sounds eager to talk to me but never reaches out
I mean, you never know to be honest.
Your interesting ways might be growing on him.
There is no1 like you, think about it.
Quick question: Say he reverses his behaviour and goes full sprint towards you giving exactly what you want.
i.e. perfect husband material
How do you think you would react?click to expand

He has a daughter. So your need for his attention is always going to come second to her. Either you accept this and chill out, or you move onto someone ready to make you their sun.
His daughters are grown and no I don’t need that kind of attention just for him to check in regularly
Your definition of 'regularly' is much different than his.
What does his kids being grown have to do with it? They will still ALWAYS come first, before you.
What part of thats not my issue don’t you get! Let it go
This is your issuePosted by Missscorpio30
The thing is he doesn’t call me and show me enough attention.click to expand

Right so not his daughters. His daughters don’t live home I don’t want to interfere but to be a part of his lifeclick to expand

Think of it this way...
He's had a busy day at work. He gets home and has the time to make a personal call before knocking out for the night. He's gonna call his kids and touch basis with them OVER calling you...a woman he is just casually talking to at this point.
Can you handle that?
Survey says, nope.

Hmmm I just noticed something...
Looking at your topics...even tho you've hidden some...you can still see the title and part of the first post. And looky there...![]()
So how come you claim he wanted marriage while you just wanted fun. And yet in this thread your saying the opposite... that he wants to keep it casual and the lack of security is making you insane.

Why
Because besides being distant we never argue and get alone pretty well. He is such a gentlemen and the sex is amazing he makes me feel so good it’s crazy that he is so stingy with time now. Everything was just good in April until I had a meltdown 🤦🏾♀️
it's september.
ANyways, short answer - act as if you never had a meltdown and continue as you were in april.
Not as the person who fked up and now can't forget the fk up and continues to live from the fk up.
basically continue being the person he liked in til april.

Yes that’s my plan lol he just liked my messages so I’m going to just forget it happens that’s one of the things I like about him he usually ignores my meltdowns but now he is fed up! I am too so I will just keep everything to myself and try not to expect so much
that's one way of doing things.
Other way is try remembering what you were like before april and how you are now.
see at what point your personality changed, what didn't you do then that you do now etc.click to expand

I hide my message because the things I said were rather fatalist and pestimistic. That wasn't fair to you.
Look any relationship can be recovered if you address the underling issues and the well isn't poisoned. In this case it's your extreme behavior. If you want it to work this this guy or anyone like him for that matter you need to address that.
Bottling it up will not help. Meditation and counceling will. Have you made any progress on setting up a appointment yet?
Why are you that way? What is the source for your abandonment issues?click to expand

How do I say this nicely??
You are a hot, manipulative mess. You say things in an attempt to manipulate certain responses from him and it ends up backfiring and you probably don’t even realize it.

I talked to my old therapist and she said that my extreme behavior is rather normal to situation like this she said that I’m being neglected by someone I took time to get to know and that it hurts that he is acting like this now she said my reaction is the issue. I have to learn my triggers and this situation triggers me because we have been friends for a year and I can’t see the effect of my behavior on him maybe I hurt his feelings so bad that he decided not to open up to me again. She said that I need to give him space and to talk on his terms if I can’t take it them I need to move on respectably and not make a big scene or deal because I have to accept the way my behavior played and a part in this. We had a long talked he he told me that he is having issues everyone is being neglected even his kids they want to see him especially his younger daughter so he is trying to accommodate her and his business is expanding again so he is focusing on that as well he is seeing a therapist trying to get his head together but we had sex Tuesday of last week so far I text good morning first sometimes and he do too but I’m backing off. I recognize what I need and right now his distant behavior hurts me and I’m suffering. I have been abandoned by whole family and grew up alone I had to leave my husband of 10 years because he was not supportive and the relationship was toxic I’m still going through a nasty divorce right now as we speak that’s why i requested to be friends in the beginning. I have a lot going on but after being single for a year and half I feel like I deserved to be happy but right now I am suffering
To simplify that. He has a lot on his plate. He can't give you the attention you need. You have a right to be troubled by this like everyone else would be. That triggers you. Your behavior/reaction to that is extreme.
2 points I would like you to focus on and try to really understand.
1. What happened to you as a child has nothing to do with you. That was on them and you didn't deserve that. What helps is understanding that every situation is different. People too. So when you see yourself comparing something to this, stop and reevaluate the situation and talk yourself down. Blah blah blah common sense right?well knowing and actually believing it enough to override that trans are 2 different things.
Observe yourself and catch yourself in the act. This is one of the benefits to meditation. Your able to litterally take a back seat and watch yourself. Eventually you will be able to reprogram that snap reaction.
2. You need a lot of attention. There are work around if you want to keep this piticular guy with this situation. The first is scheduling time together. That way you will get the consistency you need and something to always look forward to.
The second is kinda risky. Because your already locked on to him. I don't know your other placements so I'm not sure it it will work.
It's a change of mindset by reframing. You would tell yourself "he is yours and not going anywhere." "Even when he isn't there he is there." It's almost like you are carrying a part of them with you everywhere. When you feel lonely or a longing you close your eyes and bring up a image of them and the feelings attached to it. Then you hold on to that for a while until you feel better. Does that make sense? It's hard to explain that last one for me.click to expand

I don’t mean to be manipulative I just say how I feel in a mean way to get him to see my point but I get your comment my therpist called me a emotional bully for threatening to leave
I am a Scorpio too and I promise self awareness is everything. As emotional people it’s almost instinctive for water signs to resort to emotional manipulation but if you have ever had it done to yourself, you already know how much of a turn off it is.
Emotional manipulation will get you NOWHERE fast with an earth sign man, they will see right through that shit. The biggest thing to remember is to only say what you mean and mean what you say. If you threaten someone that you’re going to leave, you better mean it, otherwise they will never take another threat seriously and it will only be seen as another tantrum.click to expand

At this point it’s been two days since we talked and I’m not feeling him anymore. We texted Friday but later on that day he didn’t respond and i haven’t heard from him since. It’s very frustrating and I can’t deal with his neglect he it’s been two days he is just not into me no matter how he makes me feel it just doesn’t make sense for him to do stuff like this I’m done and I’m not sending him a text message either We had a long talk and he is never changing I’m Sure he has a lot of stuff going on but a little text will not hurt him so I’m just gonna give him his space and just focus on myselfclick to expand
