Do I give him space if he’s stressed out?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been dating this guy for like 10 months. He’s been a bit distant I didn’t say anything about him being distant I’ve just been kinda dealing with it. Yesterday he messaged me saying ‘I’m so sorry I’ve been a bit distant with you life has just been stressful and hectic at the moment, I’d like to see you soon’ I’m not really sure what to do with that info? Shall I give him his space since he’s stressed out or shall I double text him or will that make it worse? He hasn’t replied in a while and I wanna be there for him but shall I give him space instead? I don’t wanna bombard his phone and be too emotional over it?

It doesn't have anything to do with you. Leave him to his separate peace. Maybe he has to work through something on his own. He'll talk to you about it later.

Make the offer to lend an ear. If he doesn't respond to the offer, he's not interested. Let it be.

Ask if he is okay and is there any way you can help him with. Don't bombard his phone but just keep in touch until he comes and sees you. Don't try to dig too deep too quick. Let him open up slowly, at his own pace. Guys usually don't want to be vulnerable with this kinda stuff. So let him go at his pace.

Why would you want to be with a guy that doesn't need you when it matters the most? Everyone has problems, its part of life. Run away or he will do it every time he feels like it.
