Is he just afraid?

Question - (27 February 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 28 February 2009)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

He says he loves me in many ways. We were together for 8 months and broke up for 2 months.

We got back together and it was great. But then there was some jealousy on his part due to an older man saying hello who knew both of us he said I should have walked away that I was being disrespectful. He festered his anger and it grew. But he will not talk about it. While we were split his friends told me he loves me and there is no one else. Now I just saw him to get my things. He will do anything for me but yet... can only befriends. I said you can't just be friends when we have such a great attraction unbelievable in fact. He says all the better. The way he looks at me I know he loves me. I am not young so I know. Is he just afraid? I just don't get it. Help! Maybe something terrible happened in his past. I don't get it. He is 52.

I think he is afraid so he keeps pulling away. We get so close spend weeks together and then he pulls away. Is he a commitment phobe. I have been his first girlfriend in years and years. he is tough - but yet the shithead loves me and our attraction to each other is fab which does not happen often.

What should i do? i need closure for me to move on in my life. I just say him the love in eyes is tremendous he wants me to stay but yet so then he says he loves me in many ways. Makes no sense. You either love somebody or don't or you love someone as a friend. He won't talk about it either. Help I need closure. This is destroying me. We are not youngsters to be playing this game.

You know you should focus on being happy without him, and maybe get some counseling with him, as a couple. That would help the communication alot I think!
