The lasy few days have been a up and down. Ive tried different ways to help him. And even when i gave him space he continued to try get closer to me and questioned me when i distanced myself. After yesterdays conversation i came home and barely spoke to him, it stressed him out so much that i was completely cold and distant from him. And then when we got into bed he asked if we could still cuddle and i just ignored him for a bit then said ” this is what you wanted right” and i was referring to being single cause that means being alone and not having me around. he then just turned and watched a movie by himself. He then started texting me even though i was right next to him. And the text was him saying we are a good team and we need to keep growing as individuals and that he doesn’t want to keep pulling me close and then push me away every time he doesn’t know what he wants and our conversation went on and he was saying he has lust issues, and he doesnt feel sexy or desirable anymore. And he had great relief speaking opening(via text) with me about the issues hes having. We then opened up about how exciting we use to be and how we need to break out of this pattern etc. He felt relieved and went to sleep with a bit more clarity and peace now that we both trying to make a change. this morning he came over and cuddled me. This morning i sent him a link about how to regain your masculine energy and something clicked with what he read and he has found what he had lost and thats hes natural masculine drive, he then said to me that he cant be weak and that he needs to regain his masculinity again so that he can be good for himself and me. This obviously was a major change in his approach. He was lost and he would always speak low of men who have lust issues and he called them weak, so his new found motivation to get his masculine back will rectify alot of his inner issues and he is usually calm and direct but lately he has been nervous and stress for unimportant things which is one of the signs i knew he lacks his masculine essence.
