Clingy boyfriend?

So I've been seeing this lad for a few months. Apart from this issue we get on and the spark is amazing.

He sometimes won't take no for an answer. Like when I'm working on a Friday night and I want to go straight home to bed rather than his he doesn't like it and will pester and pester. Also if I'm up very early for work one day (5.40) he'll be annoyed if I don't stay at a family gathering after 10 pm. No occasion just takeaway and chats.

He's also tried to make me feel guilty when I've not met him for lunch in his lunch break and is always mithering to give him lifts everywhere.

Also he was messaging me the other day and seemingly encouraging me to tell him how I felt about him, really pushing for answers. So when I said "I love you" (which I wanted to wait a bit longer to say) he never said it back. After a discussion about it the next day he told me " it's a bit soon"

What the fuck?

Is there a school that these idiots go to? The experiences posted by cheese and hissy are literally identical to my ex.
Told me he didn't ever look at any other women ever and would slate actresses constantly. If I even mentioned a male celeb that's good looking he'd bitch at me.
Constantly talked about how fat/ugly whatever his ex was, yet if I so much as mentioned mine (dcs dad so came up in conversation) he would accuse me of being in love with him still.
Wanted my dc to call him Dad (they are 10 and 12 and see their own dad most weeks)
Expected me to be on call 24/7. I get up for work at 5.45 am yet he'd expect me to answer the phone at 3am.

Ugh. So glad I finally saw the light.

Oh the bloke I knew was horrible about his wife!

Poor thing got ill, incurable and degenerative, and yes it resulted in some hideous situations for her, this bloke and their dc.

The situation and environment was 100% damaging for both him and ds, but the way he spoke about her.

I'm sure it is a case of walk a mile in his shoes, but still.
