Getting stonewalled, what is he protecting?…he has fears of rushing into a relationship, this should have been put delicately in the beginning and not mislead you…understands if you want to leave, read that to mean you can leave because he doesn’t want to be the meanie…being a guy I know how a lot of guys think. In any relationship, whether it be work, school, friends, personal, there are two kinds of people; those of commitment and those of conformity. With people who embrace conformity, you will potentially have more problems BECAUSE they have to negotiate what they are willing to put forth. Their mindset is, what’s in it for me. What will I get in return? With people commitment, you almost always have no problems because they are, well, committed. You should be a safe harbor for him and not some bus stop. Also, and everyone consider this, as a guy I know you will have problems getting some meaningful commitment with guys between 16ish into their early 30’s, give or take. A guy between those ages who really want a meaningful relationship is rare.
