And I say yes because I love him unconditionally. Now he's acting like a bit distant or comfortable..... Like "if we don't spend time together it's ok because we are engaged" type of deal and this past holiday was my first without him, he gave me sign like if he wanted to be with his family only and not me nor my family! I'm not liking this what should I do I love home but I'm not willing to be put aside!!!?????

Proposing is a big deal. I'm going to agree with Odds here that he's probably taking some time to get situated emotionally. If he's still distant in a month or two, worry. But if he needs a couple weeks to get his bearings and be comfortable with the commitment he's making, then that's just normal nerves.

I don't think anything terrible is happening right now. It seems unlikely that he would want to break up so soon after proposing. Could be wrong, but it sounds like he's just a little emotionally overwhelmed by the proposal and needs some quiet time. He'll probably come around in a week or two. When you see him next, be sure to be loving, welcoming, and enjoyable to help put him at ease.
