we are both divorced, i am going thru mine, but he hates being pinned down to timeframes, commitments, i on the other hand am more spontaneous, free-willed. I know this is not for the long term, but what can i do to wake him up? Life is for living after all, and he is just so dang oppiniontated and intolerant, just dump him. But he is a good intellectual and sexual partner. What to do?

You should dump this guy , it sounds like you are new to dating after divorce and latched onto the first guy that came along , there are a ton of single nice guys out there you could get along great with , stop wasting your time with him cuz the man of your dreams is around the corner and you aren't noticing him because you are paying so much attention to this jerk.....

I suppose you should just take him as he is unless his rigidity (no pun intended) makes being in a relationship with him unpalatable for you. Of course, there are other intellectuals in that age range that aren't as linear in their perspectives...you're hearing from one, as a matter of fact. Keep in touch. I'm interested to see how this turns out. Happy Holidays

Finish it... I have just ended a similar relationship with a guy who's now 42. I tried making it work for 6 years!

Accept that he will not show his emotions as much as you expect him to. Learn to read his moods from more subtle hints. Perhaps read something like the "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" book.
How exactly do you want him to "wake up?"

Sounds like you two don't have a personality fit. Probably best thing to do is break it off. Find someone who meets your expectations.

All you think about is sex! You need to grow up and get a life. That's why your husband left you.

just be his sexual partner and stop getting involve with him emotionally. that way you dont have to listen to him complain and face his anger on everything.
