when i ask a few weeks out about making a date, the answer is an enthusiastic “yes!”
but a week out he’s never quite sure if he’ll be there. maybe its that his stomach hurts, or maybe its that he has to do a couple things around his place, but there is always this doubt that is instilled. consistently. every week.
but then he winds up spending the time with me anyways.
i have tried to be joking about it,
i have tried just making plans without him
i have tried to set deadlines.
but it is all just really annoying. and even worse than that, my last relationship failed because of my partner’s secret sexual addiction. so i have a niggling fear whenever someone is unable to be accountable in this way.
i know breaking plans is an intimacy issue, to maintain distance. i know it is probably a control thing too. and it has to do with a lack of maturity.
i want to know, what is the way to behavior modify these actions???
i am not just looking for advice. i want to know how to behavior modify, as in:
stop asking about plans
don’t be available for specific amount of time
break plans he wants to make
stuff like that
