Boyfriend started shutting his internet at night and acting distant but does not want to break up why?

So my boyfriend had a recent loss in the family. I'm trying my best in terms of being compassionate and supporting him however, I noticed that he started disconnecting from the internet once he comes home from work. He lives with his family and he is extremely jealous for example if I was to disconnect my mobile internet he would be infuriated / scared in seconds since he also lacks self esteem. He's been disconnecting for 2 days but says good morning, good night etc. I texted him saying he doesn't have to disconnect and I won't text him if he doesn't wish to talk. He said I can do whatever I want to. I didn't reply back. What would you advise me to do?

Maybe this is just a matter of patience. Everyone grieves differently so being on his own might feel the best. Still, cutting off your access to contacting him is kinda cold, it’s hard for relationships to stay afloat with little to no communication. Good morning and night will only suffice for so long..

Why the hell are you texting when you should be talking this out.

I tried he said he didn't want to deal with anybody and I stopped texting him

Ah, another female who makes her boyfriend's personal problems about her. Let the man deal with it however he needs to deal with it. Most guys aren't going to cry and talk about these things with their girl. If you keep pushing you're just going to piss him off.

I am giving him space but he seems way too distant

There's no such thing as "way too distant" when it comes to things like this. You're just being selfish. He's even made sure he texts you goodnight/morning, which he doesn't have to do.

I'm not even trying to be a dick, but you have no idea how annoying it is when women do this. When you just lost someone close to you and then you have to greive the way your girl says you should or else you'll hurt her feelings. Not fair to give him more things to stress about and make him for guilty for no good reason.

What the hell does the Internet have anything to do with your relationship?

Have you ever seen this guy in real life or is he just some guy you talk to on the internet?

I've known him in reality for 10 years we're currently long distance because of my work
