30F - Relationship advice
So I’ve been dating a guy for about 3 months. We got physically close (kissing etc.), and I was actually the one who initiated that first.
Recently, he’s been going through a difficult time in his personal life. He says I don’t give him enough emotional support, and that sometimes my advice makes him feel worse instead of better. We’ve had a few fights, and usually we meet to resolve things, but it often ends up becoming physical affection instead of actually solving the underlying issues.
Now he suddenly says he needs 2 weeks alone to deal with his personal and family issues. He also said he hasn’t been able to fully open up to me because he feels emotionally unsupported. He assured me he doesn’t want to date anyone else and just needs space.
I reacted badly and accused him of using me for the last 3 months. After that, he said I can never understand him and stopped talking to me.
Was my reaction unfair? And should I actually give him space, maybe even longer than 2 weeks, or is this a sign to step away completely?
