Thanks Shheadz.... that makes sense and actually that is what I think he is doing - trying to protect me from 'his demons' because I know he would never intentionally hurt me. Even though, the fact that he keeps me at arms length infact does not protect me, it does infact hurt me, unintentionally.
As I said above, I love him and would be happy to hold his hand as he goes through this, and accept that he needs to deal with his problems, but only if he can be honest with me. If that makes sense!!!
I am hoping to see him sometime this week and I will gently try to talk to him about this, I want to be honest with him and tell him how important honesty is to me. I also want to tell him that if he is worried about hurting me, then he needs to know that the only way he would really hurt me is through dishonesty. If we can establish that we both feel confortable being totally honest with each other then we can build trust and therefore a better friendship and eventually relationship.
If he feels like he can't be totally honest with me, then I will have to re-think any possibility of relationship!!!
Thanks for all your comments so far, I will update any developments!!! :-)
>Qwerty123< I HOPE NOT!!! Although he did make me sit through 'The Wedding Singer', 'Juno', and 'Lost in Translation' LOL
