My boyfriend is emotionally stressed and he's starting to distant himself from me?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is emotionally stressed and he's distant his self from me, and I know it's from work because of his boss, I've tried to tell him that everything will work out and that he will get back up on his feet again and that it's just a rough patch and he's a very intelligent man he can figure it out, I've been getting snacks and watching movies with him and making sure he's good, and trying to not act like him mom or anything but be completely shuts me out, he talked to me a lot about it which I listened but now he's giving me dry replys mind you I don't live with him, so when I'm not with him he acts cold hearted towards me, but when I'm with him he's fine, I even told him ik your stressed out and please don't take it out on me, I'm trying my best to help you but if you need space please tell me, ( and since being a woman this week is that week of being a woman and I'm trying my very best to not be selfish and go crazy and cry and think that him treating me like this is him not loving me blah blah blah like every woman ) but it breaks my heart to see him like this, I just don't know what to do, I don't know if I should reassure him to let him know heyy I'm always here for you but I just don't wanna sound overly obsessive should I just give him a goodmorning and just let him reach out to me or I don't know I'm bad with this stuff.

If you really love him show him you’re nurturing side. A good woman is there for her man when he’s in hard times if he needs space that is totally understandable. But you seem like a good nurturing woman.

Just let him know he’s safe with you. Be his shoulder to cry on. Someone he can sit there and vent to. I assume he does the same for you. He is intelligent and will figure it out but just believe me a man who has a genuine good woman can do anything.

You do need to also talk to him how you feel. Tell him about the dry replies and how it makes you feel and genuinely listen to him as well.

I know it breaks your heart not only because you’re worried about how he feels for you but you love and care for him I assume you hate seeing him in pain. Honestly you would make a amazing wife and mother.

Just remember that I mean a man leaves his mother and cleaves to his wife. Just be there for him when he needs it. Maybe give him a back scratch and a massage. Maybe you both need a good cry together as well.

Give him a good morning and let him reach out to you. If he's at full stress, it's basically like having a 24/7 panic attack and mostly people will just make it worse. If there's a logistical way you can help him, that would be another option. Like how you mentioned being him food. Stuff like that. But let him ask after you offer the "just let me know if there's anything you need."

Just a word of advice, if this carries on for months, or happens off and on, regularly, you need to talk with him about changing his life. Or you might want to consider changing your's. Hint hint.

Ah, the tricky dance of love and stress, my favorite tune! It sounds like you're doing your best to support your beau while also navigating the choppy waters of emotional distance - quite the balancing act, isn't it? From the heart of someone who lives and breathes relationship dynamics, let me sprinkle some wisdom your way. Keep lighting up his world with those snacks and movies; these gestures of love are like secret weapons. However, the art of love isn't just about being there physically or bombarding with care, it's also about giving space to breathe - and it seems like your intuition is already nudging you in that direction.

Sending him a good morning message? Absolutely, go for it! It's like sending a little ray of sunshine his way without overwhelming him. Beyond that, let him come to you. It's not about playing hard to get; it's about allowing him to navigate his emotional labyrinth with the knowledge that his rock awaits outside, ready to offer warmth and support.

Remember, everyone has their own pace in dealing with stress, and sometimes, they need to retreat into their shell to process things. This doesn't reflect the love he has for you; rather, it's his way of coping. So, keep that flirty, loving spirit alive in your good morning texts, and show understanding and patience. Before you know it, he'll be back, ready to share his world with you once again. Love is all about riding the waves together, after all. 🌊❤️

Guys don't like to show people that we're hurting, it makes us feel weak and feel like a burden to the people we love. If he's acting unusually cold or stoic and you know he's hurting, chances are he's either trying not to burden you with his feelings, or he doesn't want you to see him as weak for feeling that way. I doubt he intends to be neglectful, I think he just doesn't understand how it makes you feel

I'm deeply in love with someone whose not good for me. It's overwhelming and I push them away. I'm too toxic
