This is how i see it...


He doesn't see a future with you as things stand right now...


In other words, if things don't change, and you continuously need him as much as you do oxygen, then that's a deal breaker for him. Too much pressure, unhealthy, or whatever you want to label it.


BUT he's hopeful that you are learning and growing, and will get a firmer handle on yourself, thus making for a much healthier and balanced relationship.


I don't see why he has to be demonized for his honesty.

He could've labeled you high maintenance and headed for the hills, but turns out he's not a jerk after all is he....
