Need a man's perspective....help me figure out my boyfriend

by SandBee, Mar 23, 2007 12:00AM
Ok, I have been with my boyfriend for a long time. We have a very good relationship. We have discussions rather that arguements, and we have a great sex life (sorry to give so much information). Here recently, he got a DWI. He will be losing his license for a year. Currently we do not live together. He has his own place, and I have mine (even though we spend the night at my house most of the time).
I have suggested that he move in with me to make things a bit easier on the both of us. I am going to support him through this and drive him where ever he needs to go during this year period.
All of a sudden he is acting weird. I don't know if it is the upcoming stress about his trial, or if it is something else. I am really not sure. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up about him moving in....We haven't seen each other in a few days....And he acts all cold on the telephone. He actually fussed at me for nothing a few days ago, he said "I am not going to be with someone who is stupid." And he has NEVER spoken to me like that before.
I have been nothing but supportive through out this entire thing. So I don't understand. I want him to move in because I work full time (as does he) but  I am also a full-time mother, and student.  I cant be picking him up from his apartment, and taking him back to my house, and dropping him here and there if he wont work with me a little bit....
any input would be fine...

he is scared of commitment maybe ? sure he aint married or with someone ? or could just be he is ashamed that he needs to rely on you , its hard for a man to admit he needs help ! good luck x x

SandBee, As a man I would be grateful for the offer and extremely apprecative (sp?). I think he has some sort or anger about the whole thing and you happen to be the closest person to him and he is lashing out. He can't lash out at the system ie. the cop, or who ever was responsible for his bad luck. He either doesn't want to blame himself or just can't admit it to himself yet that he lost in court. If you confront him about his attitude about this and help him figure this out logically he should start to see a clearer picture. Well, that's what I can come up with. Just my 2cents worth.

my opinion is he is scared, embaressed and feeling crappy about what happened. although all you can do is offer, maybe let his learn this lesson the hard way. let him take the bus, walk, depend on a taxi. you have been nothing but supportive.

When I listen to men`s worries, it seems that second to losing one`s sexual powers comes losing one`s wheels or turning into a mama`s boy. Maybe it is a combination of the two. He is petrified of being made fun of for having to walk or take the bus and for being dependant on a woman again like depending on a mother to drive him around. It has nothing to do with you and if he can not see now how great your suggestion was, he probably will in a little while.
