Anyway, we have a great relationship but lately i feel he's growing further and further away from me.His Mum was ill a few months back and he found it difficult to tell me as he didn't want me to see him upset. I explained to him that i was here for him no matter what state he was in, and even more so i was here when he needed me. For a few weeks after that he told me everything about what was bothering him.Sadly now i feel we've gone full circle and he's shutting me out. I know this is probably his way of coping but i'm worried about him. His Gran is really ill and they fear she wont live till next year. But i have no idea what is going on and he just stays quiet and blanks me :( any advice as to what i can do?Also i dont know if this will have anything to do with it but his sex drive is now none existent. We havent had sex in over 2months. He keeps saying he's scared i might get pregnant but we use protection.Please help thanks

A lot of guys (as well as girls) bottle up their feelings. Girls usually tell their best friends whats going on like that but guys dont - some see it as a sign of weakness.
Just be there for him when he needs you most. Let him kno that you are there for him if and when he feels like talking to you about anything... Even if you don't do or say anything he will kno you are there for him and that will mean more than any words or actions....
Good luck with everything :)

Lay back and be a good listener. Gove him back rubs and reming him that you care for him and you will be there for him. Give him some time to work through his problems.
