My first mistake was that I took a 7 day road trip with him for his "work" I was in another state and he totally denied me love and affection, my first thought was to fly home, but I stuck out the trip, we learned more about eachother.(.of course I spent the whole night crying in the lobby) I broke up, we tried again, I confronted him on possibly being gay, we had no sex, or the sex we had was blah on the three occasions it worked. Another thought here is that along with abondonment issues, possible early childhood sexual abuse, a lot of drinking and the fear of erictile dysfunction...So I gave him a year and a half. At 58, you'd think he would have dealt with all of that, at least started to..I am 45 and this has been the best and last of the lessons for me to learn. It was of all of the unavailable men that have come and gone through my life the hardest case scenario.. I started drinking too much with him, gave up my sexual needs all together and put up with this crap..along with all of his "harem" platonic fall back girls that I was supposed to befriend. I have cut contact, quit drinking and am so clear now..I cannot believe I tolerated this selfish controlling realationship..the lack of sex and denial of physical love is control in itself. He was not a bad guy, just not available, not in any sense of the word.good luck to you and all others in this situation.

You are the prize honey, not him...A guy who truly has your best interests at heart will let you know they care about you and where you stand in the relationship. We all like to fool ourselves into looking for clues and hoping that it is going somewhere. I would leave this guy and if he wakes up one day and realizes he wants you, then he would have to prove himself. There are plenty of good guys out there, we just need to believe we deserve one.

Communication is a two way street. Don't EVER assume what someone else is thinking. It is a very dangerous game and we women will tend to think a million different things in the absence of clear, two way communication. The one thing about the letter that confuses me, and makes me believe that perhaps a good calm, realistic talk is necessary and the writer might be jumping to conclusions is this part: 'He is hardly affectionate and hardly hugs me or holds my hand. The other day we where cuddling at my apartmen' If he is hardly affectionate, how is it you were cuddling? Sounds to me too like the initial 'crush' phase might be calming down too. Seriously, we are all assuming things that we don't know. We don't know him, or her. We don't know their situation. And frankly, eight months is long enough to find out what is his long term plan, but I wouldn't say you should have a firm commitment. Each situation is different. No need to rush. You have to decide TOGETHER what is best for BOTH of you. That's what a relationship is. Right??? :-) I know! Communication is a two way street. Don’t EVER assume what someone else is thinking.

I am going to go way out on a limb here. I am prepared for the hate. Honestly, it's been eight months, you have a right to enquire. Not freak out, but enquire as to his thoughts on how he sees HIS future, and discuss how you see YOURS. Then see if they match. If you like him enough then go from there. Yes he might be gay. Yes he might be dating other women, sorry but for a lot of people eight months is a long time to go without sex, and the reason he may have stopped kissing you is to prevent getting excited and forcing the issue if he knew it wasn't going anywhere. He obviously respects your decision. Which is a good thing. I don't see it as a negative, you decided not to sleep with him yet, so it is in YOUR court on that point. (I am correct? It was your decision?) Now, the texting, that's just rude behaviour. You may be reading too much into it, but frankly it has to stop because it's rude. I have friends who do this without thinking and it is annoying. Heck, I even do it too. Just ask him to stop at the dinner table etc etc. No harm in asking that. However, I think the fact that he took you to a family gathering is a good thing. Really. Most guys don't want to deal with the inevitable questions and bs from family after introducing a woman, so they avoid it. I know I do. At least until I think there is a possibility of it being long term. You and he are the only ones that can figure this out, if you feel it's worth it. I think too that you are just annoyed with the situation in general so are now nit picking about the stutter etc. Get to the source of your issue and don't create more. Just my opinion, let the hate mail commence! lol... Best of luck! Ok. I am going to go way out on a limb here. I am prepared for the hate.

Like others have said, he may be gay, or have physical problems, OR just have an extremely low sex drive (testosterone related possibly). Point is the more you stay with someone like this the more affection and connection you will miss. I've been married to someone exactly like this. He professes to love me and I think in his own way he does. I've been open about needing the ''contact'' even if it isn't sexual. Thus far, nada. We've been married 30 years, he's a good man, just frozen. I'm 60 and desperately clinging to the possibility that he'll change. All the while knowing he WON'T. Don't let that be you.

He is exhibiting addictive behavior. If he were reaching for a bottle instead of texting, you would drop the address of Alcoholics Anonymous on his butt and run for the door. Anything else is enabling his addictive behavior. And that is what so many people are falling for today. Using the computer before bed sets a high-tech buzz going in the nervous system, one that will take hours to calm before restful sleep can start. Texting is little snippets of tech-buzz. I see parents texting or blue-toothing at restaurants or shopping, with kids running around, and wasting valuable face-time. Your guy is texting. That is really the only significant thing in his life. Like any drunk or drug addict, his behavior adversely affects his relations with family and friends, his addiction controls his moods, his actions, his choices of how he spends his time. Some people try to intervene in such a situation, hide the device or make him swear to a 'down' period of abstaining from texting (or whatever) for a period of time. Bad idea. Unless *he* addresses *his* addiction, you are not contributing to his health or your happiness. The only difference I see between this guy and a drunk, is alcoholics cannot tell the truth. It doesn't matter who in the world he texts or talks to - when it isn't you, he is squandering time to bond, to nurture and get to know each other. He may not be missing half his personality, but you will never get access to the hidden part, until *he* hits bottom and decides to change. At this point, the only thing you have any control of, is when you begin to heal. Because you have been involved in his addictive behavior. By sticking around, you have been enabling his addiction for 8 months. The time for you to face yourself is now - why do you want to waste your time with someone with such serious social and personal issues? And why do you keep letting him indulge his addiction in your company? He is *not* all there for you. You have been having a (dysfunctional) relationship with a fantasy, not with him. Consider making a statement that you aren't interested in him any longer. Don't bother trying to explain anything, and be clear that it is him you don't have time for - not his addiction, not the texts, who he texts or why don't matter for anything. He is distracted when you have reason to think you are together, and that kind of behavior is all that matters. It is a show of disrespect, is rude, and more than enough reason for you to spend your time with a good book, or favorite movie, as long as he isn't there. And look at what NML has to say about her No Contact Rule to help guide you through the breaking off process, and begin healing. Maureen, I don’t see this as a dating issue.

We have had one physical connection where we made out for a while but then he stopped it, and seemed uncomfortable, but I thought that was because he was an EUM....whether he is or not, there is definitely something holding him back from emotional connections with women (not just me). I agree with astelle, I think she should move on and find a man who is able to contribute more to a relationship.

If he has several women - a player - he would NOT take any of these women to a party at Mom's house. So, taking her to meet his parents is a front. Would be good to know his age and how many times a week/month they got together. Was he available on the weekends? Maybe he can't "perform" due to medical reasons? Maybe he is waiting for her to dump him so he wouldn't have to do it. But then, after 8 months I don't believe that either, he would just have disappeared. Even the biggest a**hole will not stick around for 8 months because he doesn't want to make her cry. I don't think he would give an honest answer if asked if he is gay, he would just get mad or irritated. This guy is a headache and I personally would not have the "talk" with him, it will leave you more heartbroken and rejected. Pull back, leave him alone, he is not worth it. I say YES, probably gay. If he has several women – a player – he would NOT take any of these women to a party at Mom’s house. So, taking her to meet his parents is a front. Would be good to know his age and how many times a week/month they got together. Was he available on the weekends?

Maybe he can’t “perform” due to medical reasons? Maybe he is waiting for her to dump him so he wouldn’t have to do it. But then, after 8 months I don’t believe that either, he would just have disappeared. Even the biggest a**hole will not stick around for 8 months because he doesn’t want to make her cry.
