My boyfriend doesn't like me staying over at night or late. Is this normal?

My boyfriend is really weird sometimes about quality time and protecting his space. It seems like he doesn't like me sleeping over (I've only done it once or twice in 6 months). Even if he has a free night, he'll often get tired & show me the door when it starts to get late. He's had plenty of opportunities for me to come over, and doesn't have anyone on the side, he just really seems to like being alone.

The few times I have stayed over, he immediately flipped over and said nothing as soon as we got in bed, & slept on the complete opposite wall as far away as possible. He said goodnight quickly then nothing. This was the first night we were together too? I felt extremely awkward around him because of this.

It almost seems like he's uncomfortable with closeness/intimacy? But then when we haven't been intimate for a few months, he'll suddenly come on to me. In these instances, I've been uncomfortable and not ready.

What's the deal? He claims to be very attracted to me, but he seems to still love space and distance. He says that he shows me enough affection bc he kisses me sometimes. He doesn't outwardly show affection or hug me much or anything.

Is this normal for some guys? I feel weird. He wants his alone time and space but claims he feels really normal, secure, and happy in the relationship, and that this is just him.
