This guy seems like he's in his own little world, and this woman is just invading his bubble. That just boggles my mind

That's the sanest question - yet I can't answer it....which really is my answer to myself isnt it.
Maybe cos he is, well was a race car driver and plans on taking me to race tracks to see things from the pitt lane....hell what a reason, but its true, seeing what he is like as a man ! Mind you, I cant afford to travel abroad with him to the races he thinks that he is taking me to this year....its a non starter isnt it....

Not that it especially matters-- but is he divorced--and has been fending for himself for a while? He seems to be set in his ways at any rate.

Running a business can be very time-consuming and maybe things aren't going that well?

Some guys, having been married or in long-term relationships prefer to revert to bachelorhood---absolutely no hassles. This is sort of Ok--for a while.

It sounds like you have had enough---I would just start saying ---'I'm busy, hope we can find a time to meet later on.'

No he has never been married and doesnt even attend family weddings, he says they are a waste of time! He is married to his business, which is no bad thing as he is hard working, but it doesnt leave time for a life

How long did it take you to figure out that he was not the kind of guy you like?

Seriously it just hit me at the weekend when he took me upstairs before we went out.....when he knew that he wanted me to go home early that night and not stay....he didnt tell me at that time that I wasnt staying as usual. He is never spontaneous like that....he was just utilizing time wasnt he

Catherine12, you're a convenience, much like a microwave. That's about as much attention as he pays to you, right? If he says he's going to cook for you, it's only because he's aware that he has to do something, anything to keep you pacified (notice I'm not saying "happy"!). Take note: This is his courting behavior. I don't find it too impressive, and things will only get worse with time.

Why do we women do this to ourselves?! I married a guy for his potential, and it took me six years (and two children) to figure out that potential is nothing.
