What does it mean when a guy says he's totally lost with his life; he's in mess with everything & needs time?

The guy I'm involved with is living in another country. so basically it's along distance relationship sustained by regular phone calls, emails, online chatting (voice and text), and SMS messages.

Communication is on a daily basis as scheduled on certain times of the day with all the sweet nothings. Until one day he just sent fewer text messages than usual. which became colder and fewer the next day. When I asked what's going on and what's wrong because I'm lost and confused. he replied " I am totally lost with my life; I'm in mess with everything; I need time." What does it mean?

It means quite simply that he has unresolved issues that he is trying to sort out.

It could be a million things.Maybe he is re-thinking a long distance relationship. Maybe he found someone else that is local and finds attractive, but doesn't know which one to pursue. Maybe he has had some financial or career setbacks that he needs to concentrate on, so less time to chat and text. Maybe it is psychological, and he just feels smothered, and needs to pull back and take it slower.

Long distance relationships are hard in general, and rarely work out. All you can do is give him what he needs, and hopefully he can sort out what he needs to sort out. If you can't do that then do yourself and him a favor and set him free.

I hope this helps
