Search Results: confusing behavior

Have an older male friend that I’ve known since 2010.. we were intimate 3 years ago for a few months. He’s what you’d call a “career bachelor”.. never been married.. longest relationship he’s had was 4 years.. but it ended badly.. as he put it.. so he’s largely claimed to be into casual/FWB BUT when other guys would be nice to me.. he’d act like it would bother him.. but then act like it didn’t.. last time it happened was around Christmas last year.
What confuses me is the fact that he’s largely been about wanting casual.. at least on the surface.. so not sure if this is male territorial.. jealousy.. caveman.. dog & fire hydrant so it’s been confusing. Just wondering if this behavior is game play.. or insecurity.. he’s also largely had a lot of women pay attention to him in part for $$ he can spend.. took me 8 years to get him to admit that there are some women who aren’t into men just for their money. I do care for him but this has been really confusing.. opinions would be great..

I don't know what they used to want to talk to us when Mom was around but ever since Mom abandoned us, my mom said the family hasn't spoken to us were called. I mean they blamed me for my Mom leaving the family because I was different. After I got diagnosed with autism my mom just freaked out and left two weeks later. She started to be more resentful to me that doesn't even before she was kind of confused why I wasn't talkin like the other kids. My relatives don't really talk to my brother's either. Then one day my dad called the whole family out because they're acting ridiculous I'm not the blame and it was my mom's choice that I left and they should be mad at her not me. I was about 11 years old when that happened well when my dad called them out when we went down there to see them. My mom left when I was eight. It's like every time I try to contact the family they either don't answer or ignore my response and respond to each other sometimes. Just now I told him I was making plans to come see them for the holidays maybe they didn't say anything about it. I didn't say a damn thing they just looked at and didn't respond. I haven't told my brother's or Dad yet because they'll probably say I shouldn't go down there because they don't even talk to us. The only two people that I talked to down there or my grandparents and they also called out the family for their ridiculous Behavior they were on my bedside. I'm going to call my grandparents later today after I get out of my third class and let them know I'm making plans to see them. Well I thought Santa was forever but I didn't realize family can be so toxic and didn't want to talk to you. It seems like my dad said the family cares about us more than my mom's side. I mean my mom's side called each other but they never call us or respond to us and they seem like they're annoyed with us. I barely called them because they won't talk to us. Should I even bother to see them? I'm really hurt that they don't care.
