His behaviour... anyone dated/know anyone similar?

We have been dating for a year. He is very good looking, not short of attention/female company. However he has been single for many years. He is a single father to an adult child who is now grown up.

I have noticed from the beginning that he holds back a lot, I get the impression he does not want us to get close etc as at times he does not keep the connection there or even try to build more of a bond connection.

I have noticed at time he can be a little controlling and have been taken back a couple of times when he has shown this side. He also has trouble with ejaculation. I think he has ED and seems embarrassed about it a times.

I have wondered if he is secretly gay or has depression. I really don't know what is going on with him. He is a complete mystery. When I try to end it he always comes back.

Has anyone has any similar experiences?

He doesn’t sound like a keeper.

What does this mean:

Just end it, and don't take him back if he asks. You're acting as if you have no agency over your own life.

I don't want to end it. I enjoy seeing him and I'm massively attracted to him. I just feel as though there is something underlining with him.

I don’t understand what the AIBU is.
There’s something not right at all. Controlling behaviour is a bad sign, always. You say you don’t want to end it but you’ve previously tried to end it and he’s come back? What does that mean, he’s persuaded you to take him back?
You say you don’t want to end it - your choice but please be careful. You obviously have concerns and he doesn’t sound like a nice partner at all.

So to sum up:

He's controlling
Cold / aloof
Unwilling to form a proper attachment
Suffers from ED
You think he might be gay

Gee, what a catch.

Get rid of him op. Seems you only really want to keep hold of him because you can say you managed to nap the hottest dude down the pub.
