Gemini64 thanks ! For the videos really helped ! & I don't know why I was so concerned about his feelings ! Those videos snapped me back to reality ! Im never the chaser .. I started out giving him soo much space & of course he always did hmu but I had a relationship fail because I was giving way too much space so I didn't want another relationship to fail because I wasn't showing my man enough attention ! I check in & say good night sometimes or good morning .. & I'm going to do what I started out doing .. He comes home this week & I decided to just let him contact me when he ready to see me instead of reaching out to him .. It would make me look so desperate ! But thanks again ! I needed to see that

You go girl! You've got this!
With a gem you've got to find that balance of being independent and giving him the type of attention he craves. I couldn't do it and one of the complaints my ex had was I didn't give him enough attention. I was too independent and he didn't feel needed.click to expand

Oh, I didn't finish my thought.
On the other hand, if I was too dependent, he would have been turned off by that, too. He didn't want me up his butt or clingy/needy either.
Just hard to find that balance. But you can do this, I know you can!!click to expand

I'm not so sure it's going to work out anymore we got into an argument because he stood me up last night like WTF so disrespectful ! He ignores my texts instead of taken 2 secs to say he can't make it .. I felt disrespected ! I may never understand him & I'm not so sure I still even want to ...he said he got busy with work I did apologize for going off .. He may never talk to me again but I'm not going to sob over him ..I'm going to move on ... If this is how he reacts when it comes to a disagreement & disappears I don't want him ... I forgave him for what he did to me & it took a lot ! He chased me for a year ! So the fact that he disappeared on me over that irks my nerve I thought we were in it together ! But I was wrong ! So

Just doesn't get why he would hurt me sooo bad ! Feels like revenge because I made him chase me for a year ! Why he didn't he just leave me alone ? I was fine.... Instead he lies pouring his heart out how he been waiting to be with me ! Then he gets home & reaches out to me to see him but never falls through with the plan because he said he got caught up in work ! I felt like if he wasn't into me why would he wait 2 months just to ignore me ? Is this even normal ? I been sick to my stomach & throwing up I'm do overwhelmed ! & disgusted by him .. Won't let my self get close again

Yes men and women BOTH release OXYTOCIN when attracted and falling for someone. However, the huge difference is this.
1. When a woman starts "feeling it" and her Oxytocin is released, she gets more addicted and falls even harder. And this hormone LOWERS stress (CORTISOL LEVELS) in women.
2. When a man starts "feeling it" and his Oxytocin is released, this actually LOWERS his TESTOSTERONE. By doing so, this actually INCREASES his stress (CORTISOL LEVELS). This is the reason why men need to withdraw when they feel they are getting too close. It's simple biology.
The difference is that there are men who understand this to a point and are emotionally mature. Unfortunately, there are many men who will never grow up. Instead of understanding their feelings, they panic.
The key is understanding how men and women not only communicate but how they differ in dealing with emotion.

Could you please cite peer reviewed article from Pub Med. That is the real source for all medical relevant research.
Not interpretation of an interpretation of an interpretation.
Too much effort just to justify that your mentor got a younger groupie, eh?

No, not at all. I work in the medical field, have for over 20 years. So topics as this interest me, that's all.
This is nothing to do with mentor. He's happily married to his wife as much as I am to my husband. But thanks for your concern.
Geez, I don't know what your issues are, but you sure come across as a total B*tch.
If you want to disagree with me or anyone else, fine. Try being civil. It's called emotional maturation.click to expand
