Thanks for all your responses. He has been letting me in with what's been going on, but I think things got to a certain point where another problem came up and it was the straw that broke the camel's back and he's just overwhelmed. All throughout he's let me in with what's been happening, but this time it's different. I'm worried because the last time he reacted like this is when he had a death in the family and I just wonder...what if? I stepped aside and let him know that even though we're more like "friends" now that don't think I won't stop being there for him. I do recognize that this isn't the relationship I deserve to have, however, it's very hard when I have such deep feelings for someone. I'm ok with letting him be for a couple of weeks, and I'm not one to push for answers (I have a tendency to get defensive when someone does that to me), but I guess it's come to point where I'm now looking for perspectives from other people. You all gave great viewpoints, interesting enough when I've had my pitfalls he was the first one to contact me day after day and make I'm ok, but with him, he just wants to be left alone...which I will have to respect...for now...
