He says he is not seeing anyone else, he is too busy for that with work, and he told me he has had 2 long term partners for about 10 years and could have gotten married, but didn't want to say anymore.

It sounds like he's keeping his distance, but still wanting you to be around "just in case"...maybe he's dating other people and trying to make up his mind who he wants to be in a relationship with and waiting to see what happens. Or maybe he's not seeing anyone else and is really just not wanting a serious relationship right now with all the drama that could happen.

why doesn't he want to even talk about it? If he doesn't want a real relationship why can't he just say so?

I get the feeling he wants you around as a back up plan. He knows that if he came right out and said he doesn't want a real relationship with you, you'd run away, and he doesn't want that. Yet he doesn't want to get closer now either. something tells me he's keeping you around while he bides his time waiting for something else.

I think you should pretty much assume that he doesn't want what you want, or if he does, the time frames don't match up so you should not pin hopes on him.
