I'm sitting on the steps with groceries, waiting for him to get back from the gym.

    I'm afraid you are completely missing the point. It's not about him not being ready and she's pushing him into commitment- because HE is already pushing HER into commitment but refuses to to treat her like a partner.

    "He still will not give me a key, and HE INSISTS that I continue to LIVE OUT OF A BAG. He wants me to stay at his place, but pack a DIFFERENT BAG EACH TIME so that I never need to go inside without HIM OPENING THE DOOR. (my bolds.)" That's just batshit crazy.

    I'm sorry, Jug, but this is bullshit. You don't tell someone that they need to live out of a bag just to be with you. If he is inviting her over, and telling her to bring her stuff, AND telling her that it's not acceptable for her to live at her OWN place, then she needs a damn key so she can USE her own stuff. That's just common sense. If he's "not ready" for the implied commitment of a key, then he needs to let her operate out of her own apartment sans ultimatums about seeing her less if she does.

    The bottm line of the whole aregument is this: no matter which way you slice it, there is NO REASONABLE EXCUSE for his behavior.
