bubbloo24 agony auntThere's nothing much you can do other than just support him and comfort him. You could say something like this:

"Please listen to me, just for a few minutes. You mean a lot to me and it really cuts me up to see you so upset lately. I really want to help you and take care of you but I feel a bit pushed away. Please talk to me, you know you can trust me and I will keep it between you and me but I feel helpless and a bit emotionally cut off from you. Please, talk to me."

Ensure you use phrases that do not accuse him. For example : "I worried that" and " I feel" other wise you will get no where.

If he still won't talk to you, don't keep nagging him about it, just try to be there for him.

If you really do feel totally and utterly cut off from him in time, I think it's best that you end it because it seems he feels unable to talk to you and tell you how he feels and there may come a point when you just feel like you can't do anything and I think at this point you may have to break up with him. A main part of relationship building is communication and if he's not giving that to you, it's time to let him go.

Take care xx
