Hi, my boyfriend, who's 50, lost his Father in Sept. he seemed to be recovering than his cat got killed and he is extremely depressed and want space and to be alone most of the time. I feel he is pushing me away , weather he means to or not. I try to be there for him but am really worried. We live an hour apart so it's not easy to physically bethereforhim. His daughter is away at college. He only had his cat as a constant companion, now she gone and he had a break down saying he could only handle so much, meaning a few hours together no sex and loving just a friendship basis. This just doesn't seem like abnormal morroning .
