Does He Want More Then Just Be Friends?

Ok, sorry but this is gonna be long, I’ll tell you practically the entire story so that way you’ll be able to understand more…I’d like to know what you guys think about it!
Last may I met a guy at the bar and we spend the night playing pool at the end of the night we left our seperate ways. I saw him again at the bar in july, I remembered nothing about him but he remembered my name and even what I was wearing that night in may. Anyways, that night we left together and the rest of the night was just awesome. 2 days later he came to the restaurant I used to work so I gave him my number. The next night we hooked up again and when we woke up the next morning his pick-up truck was smashed…I mean really smashed, $4000 in damage. I thought for sure that that would put an end to whatever we had cause he was pretty sure that my bf had did it…Ya I know I had a bf and he also had a gf….Anyways after that I started working at an hotel and I only saw him after that in august…Turns out that the hotel I started working at is the hotel he stays at everytime he works in town, wich was 3 weeks a month. Well when we saw each other again in August we made a deal that we would be friends with benefits, I was fine with that cause we were both in relationships and he was fun…Well, everytime I was doing his room, I always had a note waiting for me, when I was working nights too every night when he was done work he was always coming to see me in whatever room I was in and he was always inviting me to go up his room once I was done work, even if it was just to have a smoke…Then we started texting, I mean really texting….often it happened that we would start texting at 9 in the morning and we would stop like at 8 at night, actually we’re still doing that. We also had a deal that we couldn’t text each other if we were not working in case we would get caught, he started texting me even when he was on days off when he was at home with gf…Then around october well he stopped going home on days off and he was staying in town, he was rigwatching instead of going home, he invited me often too to go to the rig, in october I realized I was falling for him. Even when he was working out of town he was taking the time to come and see me. In november I spend 2 days at the rig with him…In december at the bar one night it was girls gone wild so he had invited me, i went but me and bf got into huge fight so i left. That night I took a hotel room to get away from bf and I had called him to let him know that I was ok and 10 minutes later he was knocking on my hotel room, he left his friends at the bar and spend the night with me instead of watching girls gone wild. December was the month we hooked up the more. We both became single in the same week in december wich is weird, it just happened. Since the end of december he’s been working in AB and I live in BC so we don’t see each other that often anymore but we still text everyday and still mostly it’s all day long. He came to see me in February for 2 days and it was awesome, the second day we spend the day in bed just to cuddle…Next week he’s days off again and he’s coming to see me…Right now we are also making plans to go spend a weekend together in AB for may.
Since the beginning he told me that we would only be friends and nothing more…We are both single now and he tells me that he wants to stay single…I’m falling for him real bad and me and my friends believes that he’s interested but we think that it scares him.
It doesn’t make sense to us with everything he does that he only wants to be friends……texting me everyday, making plans to take me away on vacation and driving 3 hrs to just have sex when he could have sex easily in his town, it doesn’t makes sense at all!
Do you think he’s also interested or does he only wants to be friends with benefits?
Your opinion would be appreciated, it would help me decide what I should do, go for him or stop everything.
Thanks!

My Husband Doesn’t Want Family Or Friends Invited To Our Home Ever. What Can I Do?

My husband & I have been happily married for 9 years and enjoy spending time with each other. But he’s not much of a social person. He doesn’t like to do any activity involving other people. He’s been that way ever since I’ve known him so I’m okay with that except when it comes to family. It bothers me that he never spends time with family- his or mine. I live close to my family but he’ll never go visit and they’re not welcome in our home. If I want to invite them he always complains and threatens to leave the house. This always causes an argument so I end up never inviting family or friends over. I invited 2 cousins over to watch the Superbowl this year. When I got home from church he hid the projector so we couldn’t watch TV. My cousins already had plans & couldn’t come. I told him but he still wouldn’t speak to me all day.
We’ve been in our home almost 4 years and I can think of maybe 2 occasions where I’ve had family/friends over. He goes in the bedroom and will not come out until they’re gone. He calls or texts me constantly asking when they’re leaving. For holidays, I always go visit them alone and have to hear the endless “Where’s DH?” “What is DH doing? Why didn’t he come?” It’s very upsetting and stressful for me so I don’t visit them as I often as I should. Maybe just a 2-3 times a year and they live 15 minutes away.
Last weekend my great aunt died, the last of 13 siblings. A lot of family from other states will be coming to the funeral. My husband & I have the largest home of my local relatives and I want to open our home up for whoever needs a place to stay. I told him this and was met with the usual resistance. He asked why they can’t stay in a hotel! This is Very upsetting for me. I already have to deal with my aunt’s death (she was like my 3rd grandmother). I don’t want to deal with his insensitivity or harassment about having people over. But I don’t want family stay in hotel unless they just want to. I don’t know how many are coming but we have enough relatives to fill up everyone’s home, not just mine. Is there anything I can do to get him to be okay with this? Or at least not cause any extra stress?
What kills me is the 1 or 2 times we’ve ever had overnight guests were from his friends and I never gave him any lip about it.
