Aqua girl seriously confused and needs advice!

I met scorp man 5 months ago. He was so eager to get to know me, and I was a little hesitant, but intrigued. We spent a good deal of time hanging out and I grew very fond of him; he was so doting,affectionate,and attentive,I could hardly believe it.We discussed making it official a few times,and I told him I just wasn't ready to go there just yet (although I probably would be eventually) and tried my best to be open and explain my reasons-all to which he was very receptive and seemed to accept.He was always the first to contact me and was extremely vocal about his affection for me.Fast-forward to about a month and a half ago,and his world began crumbling down-and eventually,he did too.He lost his apartment and job,and has no help from family.He opened up to me about his struggles with drug abuse and depression.He told me that I was his anti-depressant,and although he makes all the wrong decisions,being with me was the one right decision he had made.Then,he began getting moody and distancing himself.He would get some bad news-for example,a job prospect had fallen through,and get pissed and just not be able to get over it,to the point where he would just leave-treating me like I had done something to cause his bad mood.I did my best to be supportive and gave him the space to come to me when he wanted to,always assuring him that I cared and was there for him.About 3 weeks ago,he called and asked to come over,and told me that he had been at his friends house earlier,seeking advice.He told his friend that there were things about me that irritated him,and his friend told him that I had shown him so much kindness,undeserved kindness,and to stop taking me for granted.He took this advice to heart and told me he didn't know what he would do if he lost me,and he spent the night re-affirming his affection for me.Then,a week went by and I didn't see him,but he texted me every day and asked me to go out with him to a bar.We had an awesome time and he said that it was an eye-opening experience and it just made him realize just how much I mean to him.He asked me to go out again the next night,and kept wanting to go home with me,which I politely declined,he go upset and his demeanor changed-then he left,assuring me there was nothing wrong and to have fun with my friends there-not worry about anything...continued in next post

As usual, he apologized for acting strange, and hoped that I could overlook it. A few days later, I asked him to hang out and he was excited and agreed. We met up, and he had had yet another crushing blow: he no longer had health insurance. So, he began drinking whiskey, his usual remedy for upsetting times, and started being obnoxious and rude to me. Just very snarky and then, very cold. I just ignored it as usual, because I know when he's in those moods, he does NOT want to talk about it. As I left, he walked me to my car and apologized, saying that tomorrow he would be a different person. I was so overwhelmed by all of this, when he texted me the next day, I literally couldn't respond. I have been so lost in thought; wondering what I could do or say, if there even was anything to be done or said. After I didn't respond, he said that I'm probably sick of his attitude and excuses, that he shouldn't try and see me when he's in a bad mood, that times are rough and if I want space he'd give it to me, and that he doesn't know how I could stand him in times like these because he can't even stand himself. I sent him a text asking if I could call him, I was thinking I could try to explain myself and we could talk, but he didn't respond (note, his phone is about to be shut off, so that could be why-I'm really not sure if he's ignoring me or not lol).

My question: what the hell is going on in this scorpio's mind? I'm trying so hard to understand and be stable and consistent for him, but I'm at a loss. Please help! Anything helps, please share your insight!

Analyticalaqua,
From what you have written here, I find that this individual is wrestling with a number of demons.

Alcohol, Drugs, Anti-depressants are mind altering drugs that can get out of hand.

In light of the fact that his family is not very supportive of him, jobs falling through, repetitious
his bad behavior, I am suspecting that he is going through a time in his life in which he needs
to iron a lot of things out and mature more. Those demons are very real and present a very clear
and present danger, both to himself and to others, and especially to you, though he may not even realize it.

I strongly recommend that you cool off the passion and remain friends at this time. Explain to him
that he MUST get his life in order before thinking about a deeper relationship with someone else.
Particularly one which has the potential for sexual intimacy.

The both of you must decide what you want. A serious relationship commitment with the potential for
marriage and/or children or a so-called "friend with benefits".
It seems to me that he wants to further this relationship into a more physically intimate one.
You seem to be guarded.... and that's smart move.

In my opinion, you would be wise to give yourselves a couple of years before getting intimate wherein
you risk conception in which case you must then decide whether to carry to term or not.

5 months is NOT a very long time to get to know someone. In this particular situation, I think you should
wait and be cautious about his advances and the "nice-guy" things he's been doing. For all we know, he
could simply be schmoozing his way into your panties, get what he wants and will be on another train
before your head stops spinning. On the other hand, his addictions and roller-coaster mood swings can wear
you down and wear you out, you may resort to cheating on him or leave him, altogether, and that could be
enough of a concoction for the makin's of a killer.

On the other hand, you may very well be the catalyst that can help him through what I'd call "rough and rowdy days".
