The story is that I have been friends with this guy (we are both in our early 30s) and a month ago we went on vacation together and hooked up. We had a great time and afterwords he talked of use living together and spending more time. Initially, I was reluctant but as the weeks passed, I warmed up to the idea. Just last week, I was vulnerable with him over chat, told him how difficult my situation with my parents (one died, one is ill) has been and everything that has happened to me these past three years.
I also told him that I want an emotional connection with him and like him more and more. All in all, I was very open emotionally with him and very vulnerable. Just a few days ago, he made a 180 degree turn and said that I was putting pressure on him (after I mentioned that he didn't seem very responsive). I sent him another emotional text and he has not replied in two days.
My gut tells me that this guy may be emotionally abusive but I would want to think otherwise. Either that or he is not equipped to handle emotional displays. Perhaps I am overreacting. What do you think? Should i dump him now? I told him last week that I would dump him since he didn't seem emotionally responsive and he begged me not to drop him like that.
