Since then, we’ve had an instance where he didn’t answer a simple question about whether or not he had a pet, and now I’m not sure what I can ask him. Well, I guess I know I can ask him anything, but I feel gunshy about asking because I don’t want him to not tell me and I don’t want to feel rejected or like he’s distancing himself. I feel like he might not answer just to push my buttons and I’m confused and bothered by this.

Mine has told me after the fact where he went one time, but he wouldn't tell me beforehand, not even if it was, say, for work (like a conference) or fun, or like, within the country vs. out of the country. He'll be away a few days later this month, but I know it's likely pointless to ask, even though I've explained why it would make me feel better to know. Could you maybe just talk to him about wanting to ask him without actually asking him?
Thanks for this!
