I cannot believe I finally found this forum where you are all going thru my situation. My boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me after his father's passing. In this case his father died by suicide, which is a traumatic enough death to grieve. About a week after the funeral, my boyfriend (or should I be saying ex) decided to move in with his mom to help her with the house/finances/etc. During that process he told me that he cannot be in a realtionship right now with everything that he is dealing with. I couldn't understand how someone would push away the person they are suppoosed to be in love with at a time when you'd think they want to lean on that person for support. Not many people understand that he is really not himself-I can see that when I talk to him....but they feel I am making excuses for what he is doing. I want to be supportive, be there for him but this is breaking my heart. To see that so many of your situations are so simiiar is helping in that I realize I am not alone.
