I don’t think he is messing with you on purpose. Don’t take this the wrong way but I honestly don’t think he is thinking about you at all. He is just doing what he feels like doing in the moment... he is driven by his feelings. So when he is distant, he is feeling distant. When he texts you to go on a drive, he feels like going for a drive with you. I think that is why you should keep your focus on you and not him. He has to learn that you are going to live your life and aren’t always going to be there every time he feels like including you.
I know this is tough but take it from someone who did everything wrong for way too long. You have to be strong and give him lots of space...more than he wants. (((HUGS)))
