[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how to understand this. I am not particularly easy, or easygoing. I work FT in a demanding job that I necessarily put before him; I like nice things; I have definite ideas about what and how to do things. I have 2 kids whom I prioritize before my BF and that limits my availability. I have an abusive ex and a history of anxiety that is not active with my very solid, mature, reliable, reassuring, accepting and high integrity BF. Whom I waited to sleep with until date six.

I really love him, and that makes me more agreeable. What does “easy” mean in this context? I’ve heard people say good relationships are easy; I’m not sure whether he means this vs whether I’m not demanding enough.[/quote]

Wouldn't overthink it. In all likelihood, it means he feels very comfortable around you. Perhaps he has a history with difficult women, and you guys click and he feels very natural with you. Which can be a relief and a revelation when you are not accustomed to it.

The phrasing is a little poor. But if everything else is good, I suspect he means it as a compliment. He might not be great with the nuances of words. "Easy" is not always the best word choice. But it does not necessarily mean anything bad. You have to regard it in the larger context, and only you know that. He's not Shakespeare. But I'm sure you can detect the meaning and whether it's meant kindly. [/quote]
