I know you wrote a lot, but honestly, it doesn't tell us nearly enough to begin to give you a solid answer, so I'm going to speculate on the most likely reasons:
- He's depressed. That's why he's ignoring you and "escaping" by being on the computer non-stop. You'd know better than I would about WHY he's depressed, but it could be that something has made him angry, but he also feels that he can't do anything about it.
- Someone told him bad stuff about you, and due to whatever insecurities he has, he believed them, even if it's all a lie. That makes him angry, resentful, hurt, and depressed.
- He's met someone else, and doesn't know how to handle that. Maybe he isn't sure what he wants, or maybe he does, but doesn't know how to back out of his commitment with you. That could lead to him ignoring you and hoping you'll go away, so he doesn't have to deal with it head-on.
Again, I could be wrong, because I have very limited info, but I'd bet it's one or more of the above. In any event, you need to set a time limit, and if he won't talk it out within that time limit, you need to break up with him and move on. Yes, I realize you don't want to, and that you have feelings for him, etc., but the thing about relationships is that they only work when BOTH people are willing to work on them. It doesn't seem like he's willing to do that anymore, and so if that continues more than a couple of weeks, then he's only wasting your time and energy, and you need to cut it off and start the process of getting on with your life.
You can't MAKE him want to be in the relationship anymore, and there's no point in trying to keep it alive if he's not trying too.

I can't really give you "good advice" on how to deal with this issue. However, what I can say is not to long ago I was that guy. Your situation may be completely different (I don't know you guys) but if its not, what I tell you may at least give you insight to what he's feeling. I was with my fiancé for three years before the engagement. During those three years she cheated on me twice that I know of but never fully owned up to it. From that point on I had one foot out the door at all times. I was looking for any excuse to leave but never found one good enough to prepare myself mentally to walk out. We got engaged and everything quickly sped up from there making it harder and harder to find a good reason to leave. However, with one foot out the door I was never truly happy being with her; I just did what I knew she wanted and kept the peace while it ate at me from the inside out. By the time my pain surfaced to where she knew there was an issue, it had developed into full blown depression and my feelings were so misconstrued I had no idea what the original problem was anymore so I tried to make it out to be her. I recently ended it with her all together and suddenly found my depression fade away as if it was just a bad dream. But, like I said, I don't know if this is the issue but the way you describe his actions reminds me of how I was. I hope that helps in some little way.
Pack your things and run fast. Go home to your family, they're your ally. It seems like he has found someone new and in case it won't work out with her, he still have you. Don't settle with this and stop putting up with his behavior. If you put up with this, you'll get used to that set up and the hurtful feelings won't go away. This guy's actions tells outright that he doesn't love you. Believe him when he said he doesn't love you anymore. Sorry but that's the truth. If a guy is into you, he'll do everything he can to protect your feelings from getting hurt. He won't disregard your feelings and treats you with respect. Now do yourself a favor and save your dignity. Run away fast and start a life without him. You'll meet a lot of interesting and great guys who won't do this to you. Be the woman who trust and love herself and protects her own dignity.

Oof. Been there done that lessons learned. Holy cow, where to start. I don't think the amount of explanation to fix this can be done here, but it needs a jumpstart, it's a horrible downward spiral. You guys need to force each other to do things together and isolate. Computers, video games, TV, are such a destroyer of relationships. Force yourselves to go on a picnic, go for walks, eat dinner together, etc. So tough to fix from here, but it needs come to Jesus meetings and sweet moments. Smiles not tears. Listening not speaking. So tough, good luck to you two.
just give him some space for a little time, again. If he wants you to move out then try moving out and if he really loves you then he will contact you by himself later when he figures things out. if he misses you, he will call you again. but don't annoy him becz it will make things worse. leave it as it is for a little bit.
I just got out of a relationship that was very similar to yours, but my ex confessed that she had been really depressed and didn't see much room for our relationship. I believed her because I have a history with depression myself and I know of a lot of crappy things that happened to her in the past couple of years including breast cancer and losing a childhood friend. It sucks big time. I'm sorry but it sounds like it's over.
Sorry, gal - he's getting mucho pressure from his new squeeze
be the princess
let her be the witch
you'll be happier
she'll never be happy
things WILL change
a) he'll see the light & ask you back
b) you'll find somebody that will stick like glueHe's either gone nuts or there is something you aren't telling us...
I think he's started using the next girl for sex and you have become redundant to him
Sounds like its over, I know it hurts an it sucks, but do what you have to do.
This whole story seems fishy. He might be cheating on you or he might be on drugs? I think he may be depressed and something else goes with t his story that we don't know
He's cheating on you!
