writes: I love my boyfriend to bits and im pretty sure he feels the same about me. The only thing is that he has a baby with his ex girlfriend and she has just recently stopped him from seeing his baby, for no reason. Obviously this has affected him badly and he has become depressed but it has also made him stop being so close to me. I understand that he is going through a lot but in the last 2 or 3 weeks I've spoken to him twice for about 5 mins each time and if I ever ring or text him he doesn't reply. When I ask him about it he says it's coz he's not well and gets angry saying that he doesn't need me being like that at the moment! I don't know if I'm being selfish but I can't keep hanging on wondering how long it will be till he next speaks to me or if he will ever ring me again at all. I don't know how to say this to him. What do I do?

You really can't do anything. The more you try help him or reach out to him, the more he'll push back. Just leave him be. Call or write him and just say "hey, i know you need your space and i'm going to leave you alone now to handle your problems, but i'm always her for you. Please call me if there is anything i can do."In the mean time since you'll have some free time, you can use it reading "men are from mars, woman are from venus". It can describe better than i can how men need to go into their caves and that they need to solve their problems themselves. good luck.
