<human>: There is a guy I have been on and off with for 8 years now. We are both 22 and started dating in the 8th grade. We both have had other relationships with other people but somehow always find our way back to each other. He has had a rough run with the women in his life and does not feel he knows what love is. He doesn't communicate very well but has told me recently that "Nothing he ever does is good enough for me." He refuses to say I love you but he constantly tells me that he misses me, which for how often it is, I almost feel like that is his way of saying I love you. Do you think its okay that I start seeing him again, if he can't express how he feels about me in words.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
