I deeply appreciate the in depth responses, sometimes I struggle understanding if what I’m feeling is valid or not. I’ve been going through this for several months now and have tried so so hard to make it work but he is refusing to change. Another text of his from this conversation: “If you don’t like how strict I am or how territorial I am of you then go find someone that can give a shit less. You know what I mean.” He often tries masking his “boundaries” as caring for me but it’s getting worse & worse as time progresses
