Dear Desiree:

You wrote: “He constantly reminds me that his family (parents and siblings) and his job are his #1 priority'”- this makes me wonder why he feels the need to constantly remind you of that; what takes place right before he reminds you of that?

A clue is here: “He tells me that I am clingy and too dependent on him (he may be right)”-

I am thinking it may be that you communicate to him often enough that he is not doing enough for you, that he doesn’t treat you as his number one priority (maybe far ahead of any other priority), and so, he follows with reminding you that he has other priorities.

Is it so?
