Hello cathy,
It is very normal for men to need to back away for a bit, especially when they are experiencing rough times, so you really need to let him be and let him deal with whatever he is dealing with, you don’t want to pressure him into thinking that he HAS to be with you, you want him to want to be with you. So let him go for a bit, but you did not explain enough about your issue so I can’t give you great advice? please elaborate more on the subject:)
