Pattnee, can you look at your last message and give me a % of the part that focused on him? And then they % that is focused on you

This man is sounding like a narcissist. He wants the focus on him. He feeds off it. "I want a day alone. No wait I want dinner together." Good job on telling him no, I would have preferred if you just ignored it.

Today when he asked why you never responded, you could have said "I was busy and giving you what you asked for."

My suggestion for you?! Turn notifications for his texts off. Then you can go in once or twice a day to see if he texted, and what they say. I get the impression that the minute your phone buzzes you're checking to see if it's from him, and what it says. Remember, he feeds off of that. When you become less and less responsive you'll be taking his cake away.

So you want to drop the rope? Turn off notifications for his texts. Drop that rope.
