I am blue, he is red. We have had a complicated off and on relationship for two years. We adore each other but every time we get close to serious he freaks out. I get the feeling he idolises me, sees me as untouchable, doesn’t want to hurt me, but also just refuses to look at me as a whole person. At the moment, he’ll only ever tell me he misses me when he’s drunk or overly emotional, but doesn’t make a real effort to keep me. We’ve made boundaries now that we can’t flirt with each other (his idea) because it always hurts each other, but I can’t imagine ever being able to let go. I broke his trust last year in quite a minor way but he’s never been able to let go of it. I don’t know how much more time to give it or if I need to let it go. I truly adore him.
