I’m confused and want opinions on this. Back in 2022, I talked to a guy who had a very dominant and aggressive personality. Then we completely stopped talking and had zero contact from 2022–2026.

In 2026, we started talking again and it’s been around 3 months now. At first he still seemed similar to how he used to be, but over time his behavior started feeling very different. Earlier he always wanted control and had a very tough personality, but now he wants me to take charge more. He likes being treated like a “good boy,” wants a lot of care and attention, and sometimes gives off a very “mommy take care of me” type of vibe. No matter how much reassurance or attention I give, it feels like he always wants more. He also acts much softer and more needy now, which feels strange because before he had a very rough, fighting-type personality.

I’m not judging him, I’m genuinely confused. Can someone’s personality really change this much over a few years, or could there be another reason behind it?
