I believe that if he cares for you and truly wants you to be able to be yourself, then it is possible for the two of you to equals to each other. Since he wants you to remain near, I would guess that he cares for you sincerely. Three months is not that long of a time; a relationship that has been one way for an entire lifetime does not change quickly, nor should it. I suggest you take your time to get to know him anew as you are getting to know yourself.
