Do men pull away when they are stressed?

[Aliceip]

Hi guys! I just wonder about my situation with this guy (sorry for gramma mistake as I'm not native). We went on date for 8 months. Our relationship is good and even getting better and better. We seem happy every time we met. However, the guy told me that he has a headache. He went to see doctor and he found that he got a tension headache, which is quite severe. I have no idea what to do rather than try to cheer him up and try to deliver a good coffee to his workplace (he loves coffee, so I think drinking favorite beverage might help him to feel better)

However, last week, he started to pull away. He told me he has less feeling for me, but he is not sure if it is his real feeling or it is because he just stressed. He needs 'space'. So, I give him space. I try not to act needy or desperate although I actually feel. We are not talking ever since (now 1 week). He still watch my stories on instagram and sometimes react on it.

The question is men can pull away when they are stressed? I did a research. It say yes, but I still want to ask experience from you guys.

And what I should do? My plan is I do 'no contact rule' so it will help the guy figure out what he actually wants and it helps me to move on if he actually lost a feeling for me too. Thank you for your answer!

Good you are a very smart girl

Your playing it perfect.. no matter if he does have a headache
No matter if he has a girlfriend.
No matter if he's seen somebody no matter what he wants to know what you're doing without any communication so you've looked at your page your stories


Give him that space and all the time in the world.
Because no matter what's happening that way it's on him. You're gonna make him make a choice not you

It does not matter what he's going.
Through if you were quiet and not involwell, then he has to do all the work. He has to make all the decisions all the choices

You just keep living life. And if somebody knew comes into your life go forward, go for it. Experience it

Because.
That is a flow of energy that is working together

Between you and him right now. He put a stop on that flow of energy

And you need to keep going forward living life learning and growing for some reason. He put a stop on his. You can't allow it affect yours

It goes both ways and its a good tool to learn especially if you ever have a serious relationship to be patient and you can always ask them are you doing ok

8 months is too long to make somebody your girlfriend. Move on

[DishLady]
