Man I been dating for 5 months got distant from stress related issues. I asked if he needed space and he sent me "🙍‍♂️" ?

His bm is causing drama trying to stress him out saying he can never see his son again if she finds out he has a girlfriend or dating. I told him I can give him space. He just sent that emoji and when I asked what does that mean? He said he can't even explain how he feels about fear of losing his son. I told him to tell his lawyer but I rather give space than to push him away. My question is so does he want space or not? Very confusing. He told me 2 weeks ago he likes being around me since im positive person to him

He ended up calling me Saturday and I went to see him. He looked so depressed but he was glad to see me. I texted him yesterday saying im here for him whether he has good or bad days. He said he thanks God for meeting me because im such a supportive person in his life and he will always have a lot of love for me

seems he scared you meantvto end relationship. be more specific, ask if he wants "a break for 3 days" then he can say yes or shorter or no.

Should I go to his job tomorrow? He works at a comedy show as security. I always go Saturdays and have my ticket for tomorrow since 2 weeks ago but now I feel really stuck i dont want to lose him and want to support him.

This is what he said when I asked him yesterday what that emoji meant "No words could describe what I'm feeling deep inside. She's saying she's gonna take my son away. She mentioned filing a no contact today but keeps texting me shit. I'm just scared to lose my son because she's being evil not getting her way with me so yea I'm not in a good place rn even though I have to work still" so did he mean space needed?
