So, it begins like this...My BF and i met about 3.5 years ago. we were both married at that time so our relationship was limited to conversation only. I was in an unbelievably abusive marriage and he (bf) was very supportive as a friend and gave a lot of comfort and advice. My ex hubby eventually found out - - not bearing in mind the gent was only my friend - and almost beat me to death and it was then I had finally decided enough was enough and left. We have been divorced for a year and 3 month. About 6 / 8 months after my divorce the BF made the same choice and left his marriage (I had no influence over his decision). We have been together for about 5 months and i am not entirely sure that he is as keen on having a relationship as I am. I love him dearly and I feel that I am the only 1. He says he loves me but refuses to tell anyone about me (even though most of the common people we know, know). I have met his brother and his dad but i wasnt introduced as his GF. He makes excuses when I ask him to come over , like he's not feeling well or he's too tired. He spends almost all of his time with friends, 1 of whom is a woman he admitted to cheating on his ex with. He says there is nothing more than friendship but I see the way she behaves around him. He makes all these promises of a future with me but his actions tell me something else. He reads messages but ignores them. He says he doesn't reply to anyone's messages but I am not entirely sure that he's telling me the truth. This "friend" of his, in spite of his denial, spends more time with him than I do. He's stayed over at her place without her even asking. I have to beg him to even come over to my place, after an hour he's practically running out the door. He keeps promising to meet my family but always says he's never available. My head tells me to walk away but my heart and the love I have for him tells me to give him time. What should I do?
