He avoids conflict when I confront him about an issue but he has no problem pointing out my mistakes right away and blowing them out of proportion. I’m just so lost and confused. He says he doesn’t hide anything from me yet he won’t admit to me that he is mad. I don’t automatically assume something is wrong, however, he is not very convincing when he tries to lie to me or play it off as nothing. When I ask if something is wrong he says “no, bye” and won’t talk to me.

If I break down and cry enough he will come to me and tell me he won’t leave me. An example of this is in the first paragraph of my very first post. When he sees how vulnerable I am he scoops me up in his arms and calms me down. He says everything will work out, that we need to communicate and trust. For a while after my breakdown things get a lot better. He is more understanding, loving, he tells me everything. He’s the perfect guy during that time. The problem is as soon as something upsets him again he goes back to not telling me what’s wrong. The process repeats itself, almost like it’s a never ending cycle.

I’ve heard about The Celestine Prophecy but never read it. Thanks!

Byz- I know it is and I’m trying to make it so that he understands where I’m coming from, the trust issues I have had in the past. Each time he says “I’m not like any other guy, you should know that by now! You should know you can trust me”. I know trust is essential to any good relationship and I’m trying to establish that, I just hope he would really try as well or at least make it easier for me to trust him.
