Relationship How to help boyfriend???

[joeylittle]

The only way to know, is to ask him.

I’ve merged the thread you started on this, today, with the one you started on Friday, because they are very closely related. It’s clear that you want to be doing the right things....but there are very few universally ‘right’ ways to go about this stuff.

It’s ok to have this conversation with your boyfriend, I think. Maybe not now, if he’s going through a bad patch. But when he re-emerges, talking about how he feels when he gets those little texts...that’s the only way to really know.

am I not giving him the space he needs? I feel like I'm annoying him, hounding him, and being very... Invasive.

this is a great question to ask him, when he's done isolating this time. Set the rules when he's not symptomatic (or not as symptomatic), so that you know what he needs from you and you from him, before the next time. There will be a next time, but at least then you'll know the rules.

ETA, I see joeylittle just posted the same thing :)
