Yes. Perennial playboys/bad boy, even into his 50s. Talks and acts as if he hasn't outgrown his teenage years. Can never seem to settle down. (Sino ulet yung immature??)
Let me ask you this... How long did his longest relationship last? What makes you think he will settle down with you? By the looks things kasi, it appears like you are the only 'challenge' that has eluded him thus far.
By your posts here in this forum, you seem anything but. Pero for the sake of this discussion, assume what he has said is true and that you are indeed immature. In this case, you will need someone who is level-headed and firm, but patient. Parang this guy is anything but. Don't get me wrong, such people exist. I know of someone who ended up with a guy like that. He just puts up with the girl's psychoness without really batting an eyelash. At the end of the day, they are all good, and happily married (mag 11 years na). Oh, and when they married, she was in her 30s as well. Don't give up! ;)
What is the "real" world for him? It looks that by his actions, he is also out of touch.
I am a semi practicing roman catholic and you could describe me as semi conservative in that manner. While Opus Dei values MAY LOOK too conservative to me and may seem too conservative to most of the common folk, but I think this guy's "values" are just too on the far and opposite end of the spectrum. You two couldn't be more different.
That said, I would NEVER send those kinds of vulgar and abusive SMSs to my SO (if I had one haha)
And aligning yourself nga to those conservative values, I think you'd rather see yourself single than in a long term abusive relationship, not only in terms of what he tells you and how he treats you but in terms of fidelity as well.
Again, as already mentioned, with this kind of abusive person, you'd probably find better guys at the bar or on Tinder (disclosure: I have never used both). Many more fish in the sea.
Edit: Grammar and clarity.
