I'm feeling terrible. I'm right now a little troubled, my family is very shocked because my mom is really sick and that keeps my mood very low. I was, until a few days, taking it easy, although I was sad and confussed but now I am sadder. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 9 months and we are very happy, I have never been in such a crush, he's the only one I've called "Love" because I really love him and I think he does too. He is in bad trouble at his home, his parents are divorcing. He had been very weird this last week, we spend time together but he's always in another place and I try to understand him and help him (I've already gone throw that), listen him and be there always, as he has been for me with my mom's illness. I was trying to accept that he is troubled too so that he doesn't want to speak, but I've felt like I've been put in a side, so yesterday I told him. I started crying, I didn't want to but it just happened. Today it was the same thing, he's not the sweet and loving boy I met, he's far away, he isn't around me like before, kissing and hugging me... I don't know, but I just was trying to convince him that he can trust me and tell me what he feels so I can help him, but he told me that he didn't want me to suffer this, he's sick of making me cry, said that he is a moron and I don't deserve that... he said he's breaking up with me if he feels he's going to be like this longer, saying he hurts me being this way and that way he hurts himself too.
He's not a moron, he loves me and he is a great loving boyfriend and I try to give him support and tell him I know he's in a hard moment. This is really important to me and he says he doesn't want to break up with me because he doesn't love me, but because he loves me and wants to protect me from he's attitude (at the moment).
What should I do? Help me please :(

Give him some time, he is going through some very rough stuff right now and doesn't want you to get upset about it, and doesn't want to see you hurt because of it. (everyone is different)

Back off just a little and wait for him to come to you for comfort, it might be really quickly, but I wouldn't break up because he might need you, even if he thinks he doesn't.

Feel it out, you will know what to do:)

You both need to just be there for each other by giving each other space and realizing that you have your own issues to deal with. Deal with your mom, and tell him your'e there for him if he needs you, but don't push for anything.

I agree with the others. Some people prefer to work out their own problems in private, without leaning on anybody.

You need to show him that you understand his need for privacy, and to not take offense that he is not in an emotional place right now, where he can deal with your problems too.
