But, I've never talked to him more than minutes on the phone when hes home. He gets very close to me one second, telling me the sweetest things, making me dinner etc etc and the next second, he's distant...we haven't gone out together in a while and I don't know whats going on. I've asked and he says nothings wrong. But, its giving me whiplash, him clinging to me so tightly (spending entire days/nights off with me) and then, stepping back. What gives? Can any men give me some insight to this please? Reply to this Question

 You should know better then this. Think with your head leave your emotions out of this. Get out of this relationship and move on.

 You got a guy, well into his thirties dating a girl who could still be in school living with his mom...
And you want insight on this?
RUN!
That is about it. But no doubt you have created an entire sob story in your head to explain it all. So ignore this post, you seem pretty good at ignoring warning signals already.

 He sounds like he doesn't know what he wants.
OR
He's under a lot of stress and doesn't know how to deal with it properly.
OR
He's bipolar or clinically depressed and undiagnosed, and it is causing drastic mood swings.
OR
He's using you when he wants to and couldn't be bothered when he doesn't want you.
I'm sure there are plenty of other possibilities out there too that I may have missed. You mentioned he's been hit hard by the current economic situation and he's had to move back in with his parents. This can do a lot of things to a guy his age. He could be questioning his worth. He could be taking care of his parents. He could be feeling inadequate. It is really hard to say. The only thing I can say for sure is that he's troubled. There are just too many possibilities out there as to what could be troubling him. It could be one of the things I've listed or any combination.
