Dear Amirah Capillaire:

It is a good thing that you respect his feelings and his need to not be in a relationship, and so, you maintain the no contact.

Reads to me that his straining, difficult relationship with his mother, and maybe demanding (of him) relationships with other family members are draining him of any energy needed for a new relationship (as with you). I hope therapy helps him to end the relationships he does need to end (perhaps the one with his mother), re-negotiate other relationships and in so, make a healthier life possible for him.
