writes:Okay so my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and a half. We are extremely happy and we are planning our lives together. The only thing is that lately he has been having a bunch of problems at home. His parents have been getting divorced for 7 years, his mother still hold out hope that his father will come back to them and his father wants the divorce. His father has been unemployed due to the economy and is living with his mother on his employment insurance. His mother has been a house wife most of her marriage, and has no money. He keeps having to lend her money to make morgage payments because his dad will only pay child support and that is it. And because he has to lend her money he has to work so hard just to have enough money. He is feeling overwhelmed and trapped and just wants to escape but that would involve abandoning his family which he does not want to do. He works so much that it has started affecting us. We barely see each other, we haven't had sex in weeks, and he is irritable and distant. He is so overwhelmed right now that he does not want to hear about anyone else's problems. Does anyone have any advice about how I can help him, or advice that I could give him? We want our relationship to work but he's so stressed out that he might unintentionally drive me away.
