Can space in a relationship in this situation help?
It’s toally understandable that he’ll be feeling all over the place, as it’s hard when your life takes an unexpected downward turn. But having a partner means they should be supporting you through the tough times – I think you need to have it out with with him and make him see that by pushing you away he’s just creating more issues and stress for himself. Of course you shouldn’t hang around forever, and he also needs to be there for you when you have problems, but I don’t think you should just walk away. Tell him you’re in a proper relationship, and that means helping each other out, and if he’s going to drop you whenever he needs a bit of space you shouldn’t jus sit back and let him mesh you about – it would be better to split up all together than be played like that.
