My man recently lost his mom. They were so close and literally did everything together. I tried my best to support and be there for him. In the beginning, he was cool and appreciated it, but these days I’m noticing he doesn’t share how he feels with me anymore and acts all distant. He barely replies to my messages and says he is busy. He has always been busy with work since we started dating, but he always made sure we had a proper conversation. Now, we barely talk throughout the day. He replies like after 5 hours. I work as well, but I always respond to his messages when I see them.
Besides, it’s even his personal business; he is not working for anyone. Recently, I saw his TikTok repost where he commented that he needed space and that the relationship is choking him, and I was honestly shocked! This is someone I always try to talk to and reach out to, and he didn’t even say any of that to me. I tried to discuss it, but he just snapped at me, saying he doesn’t want to discuss anything about the relationship. I let it go and didn’t say anything again. Now, I don’t know what to do. I know it’s hard for him, and I don’t even know the amount of pain he is in.
Am I not being considerate enough and thinking only of myself? Should I just give him space or go on a break for now? I really don’t want to let go of this relationship now and leave him all alone, but I just don’t know what to do. Will giving him space for now make things better, or will it end us? Please, I need your sincere advice.
