hey internet... well, ive come to you all for help. i need a wide variety of answers to help me with a small situation im in.
ok... well i have gotten serious with someone new, and we get along really well. we have a lot in common, but the only thing that is troubling me is how he deals with the relationship... here, ill explain more:
he is inexperienced with dating. and its obvious through his actions, and from what he tells me. now, he seems to be a very independent man (i dont give him crap for it, i admire this). but that independence is kind of building a wall between the relationship. he wont really open up and let me help him. i want him to be able to depend on me for anything. i want to be his friend, his lover, his confider and help support him.but! he wont let me. his excuse is that he has been alone and independent on his own for a long time, and to go from being all alone and independent to having someone enter his life is a difficult transition for him. he told me that it would take awhile for it to change..if it ever changes!
i just want to understand it more, and if there is anything i can do to help change this? or is it something unchangeable?
