Pushing her away/ghosting?

Men, do you and / or why would you guys ghost and push a woman you like away... if you are going through something/ problems in your life? Does this mean you care about her or that you don't care about her? Because the way I see it and what it feels like is that you don't care about her because you push he way instead of letting her be there for you and love you through it instead of ghosting her... please help me understand... if it's because you care please explain to me why..

Let me add it's an old friend.. we have been chatting every day for a few months now since we have reconnected since our teens.. I knew he was having some issues from when we talked. He has mentioned some stuff.. I got a message from him today after not hearing from him for almost 2 weeks and he said he's so sorry for going silent on me but he's been dealing with somestuff and trying to live like he's ok when he's not and that I don't deserve that he went silent.. and that he loves and misses me
