I'm thinking the house is unlikely in the extreme.
It does sound arrogant, and that's always my first take on it when he says it. But in context it's very clear he isn't commenting on how wonderful he is. He's actually totally mystified as to how I came to attach to him. It's more an assessment on the deeply flawed nature of my ability to attach to others. Or at least other humans.
And I can't say that I disagree with him. I do have a very hard time deeply attaching to others. I've rejected every mental health professional I came in contact with over the years, except him. In fact, not only did I not attach, but I strongly disliked them. However, I did tell him I'd leave him for my neurologist if she were a therapist. :)
I'm probably the same way with houses.
(I was the same way dating.)
