I have been in a relationship for a few months with someone who I feel I seriously hit it off with... in the beginning he wanted to spend every spare minute with me... now he seems to want to see me, but less often.. but wants an exclusive relationship... he has many female friends... and seems to need constant attention when I am with him.. which makes me feel like he needs that on a constant basis.. and sometimes me giving him attention isn't enough.. and he needs to seek it elsewhere. I do not think he cheats.. but I do feel he is dishonest about some of the things he is doing... for fear of disappointing me.
There is a fine line between people who like to be controlling and people who just want what they want... I wonder if he has a controlling personality, and is either trying to keep me at a distance at times to see my reactions.. because it is flattery.. or if he is trying to claim his independence. It is so confusing... because I don't understand... Can anyone help?
