My boyfriend told me he is at my mercy and I could do whatever I wanted with him. What does that even mean? What's up with the weird acting?

He's been getting weirder every day... He basically acts like a lost puppy. The other day we were just sitting and he looked very emotional. After a while he said he couldn't take it anymore he buried his face into his arms on the table in front of me and said he was at my mercy and that i could do whatever i wanted with him. I just stroked his hair and kissed his head but what do these overtly dramatic gestures and words even mean? I'm confused... Is he sad for some reason?

He's basically saying that he loves you, doesn't know what he'd do without you. He's also explaining that your emotions have a huge affect on him - if you're upset, it upsets him, if you're happy, then he's ecstatic. It's probably quite a dramatic way to say that, but I'd say it's positive.

Or I could be completely wrong and he might mean literally you can do anything you want with him sexually.

I don't think he meant it in a sexual way. He had tears in his eyes. He looked sad. That's why I am confused.

Then it's likely what the guy below me said - he thinks you're took good for him and is scared he might lose you and is willing to do pretty much anything to stop that happening.

It is hard to tell from the amount of info you have supplied. There is something about you that makes him anxious. He has expressed submissiveness, sadness and anxiety. Is there a chance that he fears you are too good for him and he is scared you might leave him?

How long have you been dating and has he said I love you yet? It basically means his heart is in your hands andaybe it scares him a little.

We have known each other for about 2 years but started dating 2 months ago. No he hasn't said I love yet. Does it make a difference?

[sjoes006]

Well my guess is that he is just now realizing he is falling in love and it doesn't sound like he is trying to fight it but maybe he is nervous to say it in fear you don't feel the same way.

Guys always say things similar to this or give me those kind of deep looks studying my face when they are falling in love but haven't said it quite yet.

He wants attention and importantly affection. He's trying harder as time goes because he's not getting the affection he seeks.
