To wonder if he feels something?

Maybe I am overthinking this? I got very close to a man . He is seeing a woman. I felt it was time to pull away as it was getting heavy on the texting and content and the amount Of texting . Did not feel it was appropriate and felt he was a bit out of order . He has not stopped texting me since the. . I reply to every third or fourth text usually the day or two after . Today he text me to say he notes how distant I was and was wondering what was wrong and that he felt hurt . He is becoming more and more complemtary and attentive which I find uncomfortable. He doesn't talk of his relationship and when I wish him a lovely occasion together eg party etc, he ignores that content of the message . I found that up to now , when he was dating his lady friend , that he didn't
Message me but he has started all of that contact again . Any thought on what's going on here please?

Did you tell him that you were reducing contact because he had a girlfriend? Do you want more from the relationship?

He doesn't know why I pulled away. I thought I was being subtle . I thought that because it coincided with his relationship , that he would see it as a natural progression or lessening contact when a new partner comes along . I would be sad to lose friend so I thought that by pulling away a little, I was protecting it by keeping things appropriate and light . His lady friend is the jealous type he says and not very trusting.. for good reason, in her past . I don't want to find out that she has put a stop to our friendship if she feels it's too much contact . He has s Blasé about her and them. Personally I think he treats her like shit but then , that's my own thought as to what I think is acceptable in a relationship etc

What's going on here is that he's a cheating prick who is doing his best to get down your pants. He is no friend. Block him and move on with your life.

He has never made a move in the years that I've been friends with him , lots of words but no actions so have no reason to believe that he wants me in that way .
