Will he start to back away from our relationship due to the additional stress in his life?

Question - (21 July 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 21 July 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been seeing this guy for about 2 months now and things are going really well between us (no signs of him backing off or anything like that). 4 days ago he called to tell me that he is getting layed off (this stress now on top of other stresses in his life with work). We were supposed to spend the day together that weekend but he had to cancel to work all weekend on a proposal to try and save his job.

I'm very concerned about him through all of this and I have been supportive by staying out of his way, but yet texting or calling to tell him that i'm thinking about him and offering to help out wherever I can.

My fear is that due to this additional stress he will start to back away from the relationship because he can't handle everything that is being thrown his way. Am I just being paranoid? Or would have have done or said something by now? I really am trying to give him his space, but yet still let him know that I care about him. Should I be doing anything else?
