Relationship I may have overflowed his cup!!??

[A13]

Hi guys.
I am a very open and honest person, I usually have a pretty good support network however lately I have been doing the lions share of supporting within my network.
My best friend who I trust with my life has met a new guy and is so distracted with this new found love that she has kind of been not there for support, I’m not complaining I wish her all the happiness and she deserves it however I may have leaned on my sufferer for support and hAve possibly f*cked things up??

I’m a very responsible woman, I work a very stressful job which may be the cause however; my period was 8 days late.

No one else has been around for me to lean on the last few weeks so I mentioned this to my partner that when I was at the store I bought a test and intend to just check this out as it was unusual for me to be late!!

Long story short it is negative and everything is fine however this seems to have freaked my other half out.

He’s currently going through court to get extra overnights with his 7 year old from his previous relationship which is majorly stressful for him. My news seem to have pushed him over the edge. Even tho everything turned out to be fine? He needs some space!!

Now I feel guilty for leaning on him and making him need space???? We live together and are together almost 4 years. At time when I said about tAking the test he said everything will be fine whatever happens and after a short while he switched to flight mode even tho it was negative.

Any words of wisdom please?? ...

What is he doing that is "flight mode?"

He's just reacting to a pregnancy scare. They stress everyone out. He's just processing the stress.

I'd give him a little room. Let him do his thing. Don't feel guilty or make an issue out of it. He'll process it eventually.

@Buttercup
Flight... he hasn’t packed up his stuff and left. I just mean as in fight/flight.. he hasnt come to bed a couple of nights in a row, when I asked him what was wrong he said he needed some space. Staying up late at night and sleeping late into the day. he’s not a massive socialiser as alcohol doesn’t really agree with him. He’s been out on 2 boys nights drinking since.. just some unusual behaviour??

@Sweetpea76 Thanks, I hope that’s all it is

I agree with Sweetpea. Also, no reason for you to feel guilty. Maybe when he has gotten his space and is "back to normal" he will tell you what's going on.
