phoenixrising Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Advice from men might help me to understand what is happening here... both in 50's, have been living with partner for about 1-1/2 years, together 2-1/2. He has ALWAYS been very into me, we have few disagreements, great physical connection, no red flags. The only challenge has been that my 18y/o son, who lives at home (leaving for college within the month) is pretty irresponsible about cleaning house, taking care of chores, etc. No drugs, no drinking, happy kid, just irresponsible. So, out of the blue, and after I returned from my son's graduation trip, BF up and left. He says he loves me, wants an exclusive relationship with me, but does not want to live with me anymore, because of the possibility that my son could fail college and end up back home. I have given him space, we have gone out, got along great, and now he hasn't called for a week. He says there is no one else he wants to date, and has said we will "continue to talk". I don't contact him much, maybe a text every 4 days or so. I don't understand how he can want to stay together, but not see me much. Anybody have any advice on how I should handle this? Ask to see him and talk this through, or let him make the first move?
