But I still have this fear that any day he will say he's not ready to be in a relationship with me and he will scurry backwards.


I see this as completely normal given what one has gone through, no?

However, He has also said that he likes his life that he has built for himself. The alone time he has, the place he has, and the not having to answer to anyone. Not sure what to make of that.


This almost reads like he is in dating mode with you again. Like he is enjoying the single life but at the same time want to see you and spend time with you, if that makes sense. At least that's how I read it. Is that a good/bad thing? Who knows, but the fact of him saying that he said he loves you and looks forward to spending time with you isn't a bad thing in my book.

Just keep doing what you are doing and you'll be fine.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
