Using frightening, scared, etc doesn't bode well.
You need to really listen to what you are saying.This guy has years of recovery and hasn't learned about dating someone in a committed relationship?
Also, if he has everything under control(which nobody does) you might very well be the next victim of his control. Nobody controls like addicts, recovering or otherwise.
Just listen to your instincts.

ps...Passion early in a relationship, if physical, is not a good sign. You can be attracted to them but set some boundaries. Challenge him sometimes. See how he reacts. Never fall in love with someone until you've met their friends. If they don't have friends, watch out.Sorry to sound preachy, Cass. But I've been thru this goddamned drill a dozen times.
Oh, STRONG EMOTIONAL TIES very early...run!!!!!!!
