How would you act here?

[Anonymous]

In a long distance relationship and my gfs dad has been severely ill and prob won't last much longer. During this, she hasn't really listened to things I text to her and doesn't reply or talk much any day. Its been like this for several weeks. I'm worried if it stays like this that our emotional connection will be lost. Am I being a douche confronting her about this while she's stressed out? How should I be handling this?

You need to give her time and space to deal with what's she's going there. Be there when she needs you, but don't push it... Everyone handles stress, grief differently... You have to let her handle it the way that's best for her

What if it stayed like this for say 3 months? Would it be fair or douchey to bring up it negatively affecting the relationship? Like not her being stressed but he lack of communication

I think she is going through a tough situation that's why she is distant. I think you should show empathy and tell her that you will be there for her in any case. Most importantly don't be pushy and just let time pass.
