Dating an older man I just don’t understand him?

I’m 30 dating someone 55 I have known him for a good 3 years and dated on and off. We are trying to make a proper go of it this time. He has begged and pleaded for me to be with him and give him a chance. He’s took me away on weekends away and really made me fall for him. I should probably say he has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure so may be I am expecting too much. I just spent the weekend with him he slept most of the weekend he wasn’t well. Now he has just gone cold with me barely texting or calling. I feel like I’m chasing after him!

AIBU? Do I just accept he isn’t well? I almost feel like he’s finally with me and now lost interest.

At 55 he should be chasing you. Sounds like a rude knob head stay clear

He sounds like a player. Wants the ego rush of someone young enough to be his daughter in his bed, but has no intention of making a relationship. He just wants the reassurance that she would want him, that he isn’t past it, that he can snap his fingers after a break and she will still come running. He will do it again- see if she will ask how high when he says jump. Ego trip. Power trip. Whatever. Bad news. A waste of her time.
