Guys, My boyfriend is going through a lot, I feel horrible and want to help him?

For the Men...
My boyfriend is a wonderful hard working man and I admire him so much for his dedication to his work. He decided to leave his job to pursue his own thing but unforeseen circumstances has left him 'biting off more than he can chew' and now he is doubting. The last few weeks he has just been all over the place. Easily triggered, frustrated and distant in ways. I always observe his behavior because I care and it feels a bit like he is pulling away from me and is taking some conversation we have, as a negative and has said a few hurtful things towards me. I have tried to be a distraction by getting us out the house for a few hours, encouraging time with his friends etc but his mind just doesn't switch off and I'm starting to see signs of a burn out. His health is taking a knock and he says he doesn't feel like himself and misses his family overseas.
I understand the stresses a man has and the burden on his shoulders and I dont envy him one bit but I am a caring person, I HATE seeing him like this but I just dont know how to approach him or help him. Can a guy please help me understand or give advice?

Thanks

You're saying that your boyfriend is nice, but he seems like he's an asshole. he's taking out his frustrations on you. And you didn't have anything to do with him being in the situation he's in

We are all human and its not always, he is just lately dealing with financial stresses. He isn't an asshole, he treats me well but some days he is easily triggered and needs time alone

Okay so just be there for him. When he has those bad days jusy unstress him if you knkw what I mean

Lol trust me I try but most of the time he isn't in the mood due to his head being so occupied.
