Its not up to you to deal with his past relationship problems. I am sure that you know that the past problems will come into the new relationship until he deals with his past problems. Don't wait for him to deal with them. You have your life to lead.
Kick the clown to the curb. There are plenty of guys who will respect you and your feelings. You don't need a guy who pushes you, and if he cared about you he wouldn't push you past your comfort zone.
it definintly does
I hate to ask this but could he be gay? If you are sure its not that then maybe you have problems in your relationship and he is using this guy to act as a barrier between you both to stop him having to deal with it. can you talk to his friend/
Yes
ok, if you have had ALL OF THOSE PROBLEMS then i am extremely sorry to say: THEN YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE BECAUSE A COUPLE IN LOVE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
He trusts you which is an important building block in a relationship.
Go for it girl! Her mom is a mom to you The guy you like is asking you = no problems in his family = perfect relationship !!
The main disadvantage of a younger guy in a relationship is that girls mature faster than boys. With that maturity comes a certain understanding of life and its problems, and if a woman who understands a lot of life's problems dates a younger man, then she becomes the dominating factor in the relationship and she becomes the leader/protector. Essentially (and to a certain extent), the woman assumes the male role in the relationship.
first off tell him how you feel about him im sure itll make him feel good to know you care even though he has a problem with that past relationship itll draw you two closer. and he does care but maybe he got hurt in the past and is trying not to get hurt again but show him your going to be there alwaysand then he'll try to get clse when he feels that your not going to leave him
Its about mutual understanding, in some cases the girl is nor ready to jump into a relationship, so she asks the guy that she will not go out with him , and if the guy is understanding its no big deal.
Girl this problem is faced by so many people around the word, tell the guy that love is a feeling which can be shared but not imposed. A loveless relationship is a dead relationship. Be with the guy you really love.
It seems he realizes what he had while he had it but does not know how to deal with a relationship or know how to keep what he had. If he was mistreating you he also may have personal issues that he has to deal with before he is able to have a healthy relationship. It is likely in your best interest to move on - you seemed to have made the right choice.
