Dear Lea:

I think that you understand correctly here: “I don’t know what are his positions toward me and I don’t think he really knows himself”- he doesn’t know-> you don’t know, and of course, I don’t know.

He may very well be.. mentally unwell, at least in the context of intimate relationships. It is not reasonable to expect healthy behavior from an unhealthy person. The behavior you can expect from him is the behavior he has already practiced.

“What am I supposed to do now?”- in regard to him, nothing at all, is my guess.

I was wondering, you shared earlier that you were involved in the past with older men, having had a daddy issue, I think is how you put it. This man we are discussing is younger than you, is he very different from the older men you were once attracted to? What is the nature of your attraction to him???

I ask, but answer only if you are comfortable answering. I will now take my walk and think about what you shared about him, regarding his strict mother. When I am back in about an hour I may post to you more.
