Does he need space or wants to avoid me?

[Anonymous]

I have been seeing a guy casually for 3 months now. A few weeks ago he went through a stressful situation. After he told me about it I messaged him a normal message and he didn’t reply. A week went by and hours I messed him asking if he wants me to leave him alone until he feels ok. He replied, so sorry I when been busy with work, I worked last night and now I need to get ready for work again (which was true) sorry again didn’t mean anything by it.. then said have a good weekend with a 😘 emoji. Does it seem like he has lost interest or just needs space?

Based on the information you provided, it seems more likely that he just needs space rather than having lost interest. It's possible that his stressful situation has made him preoccupied with work and other things, which may have made it difficult for him to reply to your messages in a timely manner.

However, it's always best to communicate openly with your partner and ask them directly how they are feeling and what they need. You could try asking him if he needs space or if he wants to talk about anything that may be bothering him. This can help clarify the situation and ensure that both of you are on the same page.

To be honest I think he would rather not talk
About it. I asked him if he needed space as he didn’t reply for a few days and he replied sorry I was busy with work.. I worked last night and now I have to get ready for work. Didn’t mean anything by it.
