For any vets out there - when are you able to trust what they say and do? He's telling me a lot of things, but I'm not sure how I can get back to the point that I believe what he's saying and doing. Even his actions - he wants to hang out with me and does, but what's his angle? What's his motive for hanging out with me if he wants a D, when he can go and hang out with his friends instead?
You can trust whenever you decide to trust.
This seems more of a You issue than a Him issue.
Have you read the livestrong stuff on detaching? It's a good place to start unless you feel you have a handle on that piece.
Enjoy what's happening (if it's enjoyable) and don't worry about what his motive might be. Have no expectations and stop the attempts to mind-read.
You can do this.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
