Coward. No wonder Scully's a mess. She's an intimacy-phobe who's in love with a commitment-phobe. Nothing like being afraid to be vulnerable and have needs while carrying on an intense affair with someone who's afraid of your vulnerability and your needs.
That seems a bit harsh. This is third season Mulder, this is early in the partnership, so to me it's that he's more committed to his quest than he is to anything else. This may not be what she wants or needs but this is who he is. I don't see him as having great relationship potential but I don't see him as selfish either. I also don't think it's right to blame her issues with intimacy on him. She'd had relationship problems before, and obviously so had he. Even leaving the X-Files out of it, they weren't going to have an easy time of it, were they?
