Okay this is a hard one. I've never had to deal with so many different variables in a relationship, so it's kind of hard for me to give you the best advice, but I'll definately try.... After reading some of the male comments already posted I will agree that I think he may be married. It seems that when he first met you he liked the fact that you were adventurous, and available to provide what he needed. When men get around 35yrs old maybe 40 or so, then tend to feel the need to obtain validation of their youth, and date younger women. While they are with you, yes they will wine and dine you because they are seasoned by now, and they know what to do to keep you happy. The flip side to keeping you happy with gifts, is usually because they are in hopes that it will satisfy what they will soon be lacking later on the relationship.... which is the attention, especially if they are married. After reading what your explaining to me, it sounds like he was experiencing a battle with his conscience, and the "next step" may have meant that he wants to get a divorce, but hasnt yet.( never bank on that!) When he talks to you it's probably just to reassure himself that he's still the apple in your eye. He gets jealous about the other guys, because that's natural.... but ultimately.... all the plans that he made in the future were just dreams, wishes, and probably just wants. He had to come to reality and slow this down due to the marriage. If he's not married, then maybe its just because you got a little more clingy than what he expected. Guys love to chase you around, so the best thing for you to do is get busy! When he pushed you to study, it would've been wise to study... for one, you would've been busy( which men like to a certain degree) and for two you would've been allowing him to see first hand, that you were busy trying to achieve greater heights. He would've started to feel on some degree that you were replica of himself. Everyone wants a dime on their side, and you have to be more than just sexy, and fashionable. You have to mix "business oriented" in there somewhere, so that your more on the same level of maturity. How could he hide you then? you'd be just as bad as he is! Maybe to some degree he was slightly embarrased by having such a young girl, who he began to love for real...maybe he was afraid of being riddiculed as a "TRICK". Maybe your flirty ways made him scared to give you his all. It might not have been anything on your part at all, he may be too insecure to deal with having such a sexy young thang. I think you should get busy for now, send him messages when you want to boost up his ego, make him feel wanted, but dont expect a reaction from him for a while. When he contacts you.... ignore him.... when you feel like it again, boost him up....and then ignore him. If you have the strength and the will to play the game play it. But if you really cant control your emotions, leave it alone, you will just hinder yourself in the end. But no matter what, whether you play the game or not.... stay busy, at least if he decides to leave you alone, once your done with school, he'll wish he hadn't left you alone.
Love, Honey
