There could be an OP, I suppose. But I tend to think not.
I thin he is just not thinking. Just thinking he wants to be free to drink and go out and do whatever and have a family when he feels like that.
It's really hard because he wants to spend time with me and I want to spend time with him. But it's much easier for me to say no to our time instead of waiting for him to say no. And he will through things like not texting or showing up late or randomly cancelling, etc. So there we go.
