Is it normal for a man to pull away from you if he is going through a hard time (e. g. bereavement, work problems), even if he is interested in you?

Or does that mean that he wasn’t actually interested in you to begin with or has lost interest?

Yeah not just men. I think anyone dealing with an extremely stressful life situation may pull away from others at times.

Yes it is normal because at least for that situation priorities change.

It's different for each man. For most men it's normal.

It can be normal it just depends on his emotional make up and how depressed he is.

[In_Trance]

Yes it is
