6 months ago a man walked into my life that i had history with but had not seen in a long while.
Gradually over this time he has become part of my life but lately it feels too much so, and too soon. He is very kind and has done a lot to help me but just tries to take over everything.
If i do not see him for a day he tells me how much he misses me, constantly tells me how he loves me and that he doesnt know what he would do without me.
I work very long hours and very hard work so when i get in from work i just like to chill for half and hour or so, but he is used to having his tea on the table by 6 type of chap. When I said food is ready when i get it ready he replied he would just have to help me get it ready so he had it on time..
I feel this is my home he is in and that after 10 hours on my feet i should do as i wish!
I am 2 years out of a EA marriage that lasted too long, but somehow my barriers have not been up sufficiently and he has got too comfortable too quickly.
How do i tell him, without being cruel, that I need to step back?
He wants every moment of my time and I cannot cope with this. Its like being married again..
And i feel controlled. So maybe the problem is mine.
Help anyone? or a slap?
