Thanks, Anita! Well said. You bring up good points. You’re spot on about his reaction. Also, his fear of living together in a committed relationship is stronger than his feelings for me at the moment. And I understand why he feels this way. I am coming out of a long marriage. In hindsight – I realize that he’s right, I should give myself time and give this new relationship time to create its foundation. There’s no reason to rush things because things were flowing on their own anyway.

Honest communication with him is important and we will speak about it.

Thank you again! 🙂
