hi there

ive been with this man for almost 2 years

now he says he loves me and wants to be with me forever but the thing is he never opens up to me at all

never once. i always open up to him.

He denies things that are true like he will deny something he did and i know he followed me 2 weeks after i broke up with him in 2009

i knew it was him he said it was him but he says he never followed me

he was going to a store.

Says it never happend

plus i made sure i walk different ways to see if he was following me

so i went to go talk to him and he started to run and he disappeared

he keep saying he never followed me he is denying things that is true

when i ask him a question its always a yes or a no or a maybe - never a conversation

what do i do ?

A female reader, aunt honesty Ireland +, writes (13 November 2011):

aunt honesty agony auntHe is probably ashamed of following you and does not want to admit to you that he done it. He probably thinks if he is truthful to you he will lose you. He seems a very private person and finds it difficult to talk about himself and who he is and what he feels. This is not a good ground for a relationship. You need to sit him down and tell him that he needs to put his trust in you and talk to you or else the relationship is just not going to work. He needs to have more confidence in himself.

He's probably embarrassed that he followed you. I wouldn't push that topic with him for the time being. Do you mean that he doesn't open up to you emotionally? If so have you told him you feel this way? Is there a reason (from his past) he might have problems opening up?

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (13 November 2011):

Your boyfriend actually sounds quite unstable to me. He basically stalked you when you broke up. He's also lying to you about a lot of things by the sound of it, and he won't open up to you, and there .

I think you need to sit down and really think about where this is heading, and whether this is what you want. This guy sounds partially controlling, partially dependent.

You need to seriously think about this relationship. I think it's a disaster waiting to happen.
