Re: Man pulling back or Commitment Phobe

Hello, thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate your insight. At the time, I didn’t feel I was being defensive but actually apologized for not reaching out. I was only gone for one day. I did however bring to his attention, that he had told me he was going to be busy and he didn’t reach out to me either. I realize now, that I shouldn’t have even addressed those points, but to have just said Thank you for being the “better person.”
What is your feedback about what I mentioned in regards to him texting me occasionally and saying “Well, sounds like your busy, so I’ll see or talk to you later. Seems he does this at times when he’s wanting his space but wants to put it on me. I have decided in future to just say “Oh, OK, talk to you later” and just leave it at that. It irritates me that he does that tho. It’s not taking resp. for his own actions and feelings about needing space.
Another ? I’d like to ask about is that this past Fri. we were Supposed to get together, but he got sick so of course weren’t able. Later we texted and I mentioned I was going to step out for awhile and go do something. He responded with jokingly saying “What?!! calling me a “snake”. But, I could tell it bothered him once again. He knew it was with a girlfriend. Next day, , we met up to look at a job together and he was cool towards me. When I leaned it to give him a greeting kiss, he withdrew.
