He was pushing things HARD over the last 2 months, in hindsight. I am just catching my breath now and am processing the last 2 months with him.

He had practically moved himself back into my apartment in the last week. He continuously told me every single day how he cannot live without me, and never wants to again. EVERY single day, he shoved his feelings at me - without asking me how I feel. PUSHY.... very pushy, especially when I told him I had doubts and needed to take things very slowly.

I was very vulnerable after being bullied in my last job - and then ending up being hospitalized. I think he took advantage and used my vulnerability as a way IN.

WHY I said we should put our rings back on is beyond me - ???? I don't know why I thought that was necessary. It wasn't. I think I wanted monogamy while we were working on our relationship, and that's why.

I am still in recovery from my hospitalization - I am not 100% well yet. My health comes 1st, and he never expressed that to me. He made it seem like he/us/our relationship comes 1st, and that's the way it was becoming... he was constantly around, constantly texting and constantly in my face and life, with NO space unless I insisted.

IF I asked for space from him, he SULKED and expressed how much he missed me, when we had just spent FOUR days together. He was SO clingy over the last 2 months, and gave me NO room to breathe!

GOOD riddance. I am shaking him off and it feels good. I know I will continue processing this for a while to come. I am just coming up for air.
