Rumely answered Tuesday June 14 2011, 9:41 pm: He sounds like he likes to have his cake and eat it, too. He likes to have you as a constant in his life that he can always fall back on, like a security blanket, while he goes on and does what he wants. A healthy, committed relationship involves considering each other's needs and sometimes not doing things you would like to do for the sake of the relationship. It's convenient to blame you for the failure of the relationship. A relationship, by definition, is what happens as the result of the actions of both people involved in the relationship. He's doing what he wants now because that's what he wants to do, it's not "all your fault" that he's doing what he wants to do.
I don't know all the dynamics of what has happened with the two of you. It would be interesting to get his perspective - how he views things that you have done and said. But here's where the problem of maturity comes in. He does what he wants, but it seems to be based on impetuous reactions rather than reflection and honest communication and decision making.
Maybe it's time for you to move on. There are other men out there. I know you've invested 2 years in this relationship, but maybe it's time to cut your losses. Maybe he'll regret his behavior, maybe he'll grow up in time, but I wouldn't get back together with him before he demonstrated a more honest and mature approach to relationships; one which involves consideration for what "she wants" and what "we want" as much as what "he wants".
