Well, maybe something is going on in his life, and he is distracted - maybe some issue at work or school. Like what if he's facing failing or being laid off...I don't know. If I was in that situaiton, I probably wouldn't want to communicate much with someone else either. You're not his wife at the moment, you know.
My story: I was the OTHER woman, without really knowing it. Maybe that idiot didn't even take me seriously enough to think of me in that way, who knows. All I know, is that some years ago, I spoke to a guppy here for a few months, and we were contemplating meeting and exploring our options, and then I find out he's announcing his marriage on here. Like, seriously? I felt pretty used and fooled, but felt worse for the woman he is now married to , because she has NO CLUE about me.
The dirt bag still posts around here and acts like nothing has happened.
Signs for cheating - I'm sure you can pick up any ladies magazine and you will find dissertations on this topic. I think in that case, I noticed he was very evasive, didn't want me to have his phone number so we could speak in person, didn't want to meet me in a public place, had no interest in meeting my parents, wanted to meet in a hotel (idiot thought I was some moron), just showed a pattern of irresponsibility - saying the right things at the right time so that he could get me right where he wanted me to be, and then bam, I'm hearing his engagement announcement on GS.
I don't know. I'm having real issues taking men seriously after that. They're all a punch of perv balls at the end of the day. How shareef they act with a girl really depends on their motives, more than anything else, and their upbringing. Some can control their inner kutaa-pan, some can't.
In your case, I'd just have an honest heart-to-heart talk with him, lay down your observations, and give him a period of time to make up his mind. Have the conversation alone with him, let his parents know what your opinion is, and then if there is no response within the perscribed time period, you are off the hook to find someone else.
Pcg, I completly get where your coming from when you say you cant trust another guy. But look look on the bright side, you was in the know, whilst his poor wife doesnt have a clue.
And thats what i cant handle, Not being in the know.
