Dear Princess123:

Seems to me that he is not honest with you about his intentions. His lack of trust is evident in his behavior, no way to deny that. So he is dishonest with you when he says he trusts you. And he is dishonest with you when he says what motivates him to dominate you is caring for you.

What motivates him is fear and anger from long ago, before he ever met you.

His behavior is not a result of who you are, but who you represent for him: someone who betrayed him, someone who somehow abandoned him. Maybe his mother. Do you know anything about his relationship with his mother?
