But I could tell he wanted to chat because he texted back saying that he felt hurt that I kicked him out again but that's alright and I must have had company at home that's why I acted strange and I dissed him. We kept going back and forth with me expressing that truly this is not about anyone else that I just don't want to be second to his hanging out etc. anymore. That I want more and that we need to stop focusing on other people instead of on us.
Vicky,
Why do you continue to feel the need to reassure him on this point? While I would never advocate outright LYING to him about a possible other man in your life, CREATING SOME MYSTERY is a huge tenet of DB and it's VERY EFFECTIVE.
You're not allowing it to work for you, in my opinion.
