How long should I give space to my boyfriend?

Anonymous

I love my boyfriend deeply. I gave him my time, love, and support. We were okay until another woman (a close friend of him) became involved. He said they were very close, but I'm not sure if that's true because something doesn't feel right. He spoke to her more and spent more time with her than he did with me. He said he is not attracted. He said rhey always talk everyday because she is alone. He said, he cannot leave this close friend and I being greedy.

After this event, my boyfriend seemed less interested in talking to me and more aloof. For a job opportunity, he relocated to another country. He never speaks to me as if he takes two days to reply. Despite how kind and supportive I am to his career by sending him loving and encouraging text. He just seenzoned and takes long to reply back without any reaction on it. I waited for his response for more than 2-10 hours each day and he acts like nothing happened or have many excuses like he is busy with work, he fell asleep, bad connection, he went out and now another excuse. I cannot talk right now, I fight with my family and I have big problem. I am not sure if this are True, but he seems being very distant to me.

I felt so stress like I cannot sleep anymore or even eat properly. I gave up and told him. I will give him enough space for him to solve his personal issues and I won't interfere. I will take a step back and I no longer text and call him. I told him to just text me when he is ready.

I didn't text and chase him anymore after. How long should I give space to my boyfriend to make him change?

**In worse case scenario, there are times he took 2 days to respond. With another excuses. It has affected my mental health already.**
