Had a feeling this would happen.
Shared some of my personal life, what I've had to process with a friend/lover of mine.
He responded by telling me that he thought I needed therapy before I could have a serious relationship. I told him I was in therapy. He is only into fwb and had been hinting that he might want more with me at some point, but I think the whole me having a kid was maybe a little too much for his brain. Nice cop out. Way to be a "friend". I never asked for a serious relationship, now I suddenly feel as though I have been preemptively rejected before we even got there. I'm ignoring him from now on- I resolve to do this- we had been communicating daily- now, I'm through. I don't like his mindset. He's even saying that I'm pushing him away now, that it's all me. I'm not a mindreader, but I don't have a good feeling about this. It kind of feels like "oh, I care for you, you're beautiful, I want u to heal, ur sexy, but wait! in our society today it would be socially acceptable for me to say that you need time and help to heal, thus removing me from any expectations of ever being a real presence in your life" Way to forever be "the good guy"- sleep with chicks, tell them to open up to u and then use what they tell u to say "I don't think you're ready for a real relationship". What does he think, I'm 12?!? I've seen this tactic before. Well good luck to him. I should turn the tables on him if I get a chance- the minute he tells me anything, wait a few days and then tell him how I'm concerned, that I think he needs to wait before sleeping with chicks who aren't even 21, maybe get some therapy...... Asshat.

just what are the prerequisites anyway? since when do we have to be prepared for a relationship? well thanks to him for letting you off the hook before trying to get real with a child.
I think it's code for 'you won't be nice about it when I screw you over in one way or another'.
Who is ever prepared for anything?

"i'm sorry the dickish thing i said upset you. that wasn't my intention.
pffft. i'd kill the benefits in that friendship after that patronizing "you're not ready" bullshit. and maybe even kill the friendship too.
Lose this shithead, Girl.
He has clearly set the stage to call all of the shots, take what he wants, insist he owes you nothing, and blame it on you because 'you're not ready'.
I've met several incarnations of this particular brand of anus.
Life's too short for you to waste one minute on the unworthy. If the tables were turned, you can bet your bottom dollar you'd be leaving voicemails into a black hole.
Time for the old disappearing act.
Good luck.
I'm just kinda sad. I'm sweet. Why does he need to be a shithead? You know? We had some great chemistry. And he makes me laugh, whenever he isn't insulting my sense of dignity. 
Think of him as refined white sugar. Tempting. Delicious. Makes you feel soooo good. Ahhhh.
It's so satisfying that it's easy to ignore how it systematically wears out every system of your body and makes your entire life more complicated.
Smile at how much you enjoyed him, and run for your life. 
Hope you feel better soon.
he must have some redeeming qualities if you are willing to still be friends...or you are better person than i am. cos yeah, that's pretty asshat-y.

Sounds like HE's the one who needs therapy. I fucking hate when guys do this--project their shit onto women.
He rejects you--nay judges you--and you react by protecting yourself and taking a breather and now you're "pushing" him away?
He sounds like a cockadoodledouchebag.

HA HA HA!
U guys made my week.
...is the best word I've learned at hipmama since asshat.
Being confused makes you easy prey.
To clarify....
He has never met my kid. Ever. So kid is not involved. But he isn't into kids.
He says he's looking for love. He as relations with more than one woman going, from age 20-40. He is safe and fun to be with, but hard to take in many ways. He lives far, far away, but visits from time to time.
He's a huge dork. Which is part of his attractiveness to women.
He writes and says offensive things frequently. It's kind of his style. Yet, he is truly a dick at times. I usually think I can follow whether or not he's being mean or just whatever the hell he is, but I can't always. He professes to have good intentions, then alludes to being evil. He gets u to keep your guard up, then u let it down, then u put it up, then u let it down....maybe until u are too tired to put it up again? And he has you. I'd say he seems potentially abusive in his mindset but he's never jealous & not into monogamy. He's kind of the reverse of possessive- but he hates to hear things about u and other men?!? Right?!? He always has that just out of reach thing going- which I immediately recognized when I met him and so I did it to him- I was always out of reach for 7 years, as friends.
I feel like he finally got to me- yet it was me who kissed him. Which is very unlike me. I get all sweet, and then I think DICK. He's a dick. And honestly I don't even really know why we are friends. The years I suppose. His sense of humor is wonderful. It's perhaps his one redeeming quality, besides his kisses, etc. I'm thinking with my sexy parts here and it's not helping me.
I'm glad to get some emotional distance now though. I was letting my imagination go a little wild. He can kiss my ass for a while. It's better that way. And if he can't, he can fuck off.
I honestly think that I should maybe just ditch the friendship like I did before.
Then I think- well, I do tend to run off on people. If things don't work out naturally at this point in my life, I just disappear. I have no interest in getting sucked into something that I have to work to understand. I am no longer prey. Danger, even emotional danger- has no appeal for me. So what the hell am I doing? Am I confusing emotional danger with love????
you're getting jerked around. i'm sorry to say it, but this guy seems pretty typical to me. vague and obtuse about what the relationship is, "not into monogamy" when it comes to him but when it comes to you he doesn't want to hear about it, says dickish shit then says he's sorry if it "upset" you.
yawn.
you're confusing asshole with complex.
Totally made my month with that one!

I've been abstaining more this summer than I have for years and years AND YEARS now. I'm kind of going crazy. Being with myself just makes it worse, so I don't even go there. Having a beautiful summer, a very ready body, and a little time on my hands but no decent solutions to the problem is making me want to jump out of my skin. That's what happens when u raise the bar sometimes. I just have to hold! Out! A little! Longer! AHHH!
