Hi Heartbrokengirl,

I would not break up just because someone gets overwhemed and stressed and withdraws. Many people do this, as it is their coping mechanism. I too get overwhelmed easily, but it is because I have ADHD, and people know it’s best to leave me alone, as it soon passes. He may have this, or may not want to”bother you” with problems. Men are taught not to show emotions and to be strong. If he is doing everything else great in the relationship, I would not let him go. He may not know how to communicate difficult feelings and does not mean to push you away. x
