It's difficult to explain. As I heard from him, they were always "problematic" and the way he describe them to me, I didn't really want to meet them anyway. I am shy and insecure as it is, I don't needs some strange people to bully me and question if I am "good enough" for their "little" 50 year old son. Insecure and shy as I am, I KNOW I am good enough and if he needs their confimation of that, than it should be HIS problem, not mine.honestly, his stories about them made me really reluctant to ever meet them.
when we were friends/lover all these years, I could tell him ANYTHING I couldn't tell anyone. He is very tolerant, calm, intelligent person who can understand and accept and that is what I love about him. He has no hate in him, no any predjudices, and he is funny and can make me laugh when I am sad. He is very caring also, creative and smart. On the other side, he has serious issues with intimacy, with parents (I am not sure if his stories about them are true though or totally one sided), with emotional needs of other persons, and he sometimes seems like he is emotinally and socially quite immature. He can't even understand why am I upset. He reacts badly, mostly goes away and stop contact me because he "feels unwanted". I can't tell him that he hurts me because he will pull away from me completely. He did it before. I feel like we are two very damaged people trying to be together and that will never work. I am so sad I invested 13 years into non-existing fairy tale that was in my own head. That is my own doing.
