My boyfriend wants to slow down after 6 months?

[lozza16]

want some advice really. I met a wonderful guy and we decided from early on that we would be boyfriend and girlfriend. Over the past few weeks we had been having little arguments because he wasn't contacting me as he used to. He would never call me back when he said he would and I told him I felt like his lack of communication was actually a lack of interest. He assured me it wasn't.

I saw him a week ago and things went really well, I finally met his friends, he was being so loving and I felt so happy. Fast forward a couple of days later we were meant to meet but he said he would let me know. He promised to call me back and didn't. I was so annoyed I ended it with him. He told me I would regret it and I ended up trying to call him. At first he wasn't having any of it. He would not speak to me, after a while we spoke and he said he still loved me. I spoke to him last night and he said he's so confused, he made a mistake he's not ready for a relationship. His jobs really stressful, he didn't realise how stressful it would be being in a relationship. He said I'm perfect and he loves me but he wants to take it slowly. I'm confused how can you go from being so in love to wanting to take it slowly? I told him he just wanted a fuck buddy and he got mad and said that's not it. Then he said he didn't want to stop talking. I told him I take it could see other people if we did that and he said there's no way I can anyone else. To me he's saying everything that entails a relationship.
He has since tried to call me and messaged me saying Merry Christmas. I'm so confused, I feel like maybe I have slightly rushed him and he does have a very stressful job but I thought we were on the same level. Do I

Block and delete.

You sounded a bit needy in your original post and he sounded a bit childish in promising to call and then not and the whole “I love spending time with you” nonsense that 20-something men say as though it’s meaningful. But your update made him sound like a dick. You’re clearly not on the same page 6 months in and so you both need to move on.

I don't think you are being needy OP. 6 months down the line when you thought it was going well with someone you really like, I think you have a right to be upset and be asking questions and think most people would be the same. But you don't want him thinking you're needy so I would back off.

I think he's into you but you sound like high maintenance. You've scared him off. You broke up with him - that's pretty intense and he's saying he doesn't want the drama of it all. Back off him and give him space

He promised to call me back and didn't. I was so annoyed I ended it with him. He told me I would regret it and I ended up trying to call him.

What you said above sums it all up. You both need to grow up, stop being so dramatic and needy with each other. Find your own sense of self worth, not qualified by the amount of attention someone else gives you. Sit with your emotions and feel them, instead of creating chaos to drown out difficult emotions.....

Oh, and don't contact each other again.

Move on!!
