My boyfriend’s mother passed away 2 ½ months ago. Around 2 weeks after her funeral my boyfriend totally shut off from me. He doesn’t want to see me or even talk to me. When I try to talk to him, he gets extremely frustrated which quickly turns to anger. He says that I don’t understand him but when I ask him to talk to me so I can at least try to understand, he says he doesn’t want me to understand him. I feel like anything I say or do is wrong. I feel as if he resents me. Regardless of what approach I take, the outcome is always the same, he stonewalls me. He has recently told me that he feels nothing for me anymore and that I should move on with my life. We’ve been together for 4yrs and I can’t nor do I want to imagine a future without him in it. Am I meant to accept that this is how he feels and move on or is it his grief taking over? I am at a total loss as to what to do.
 
I would think that it is grief talking, he lost his mother and is angry, that is normal and he is scared to get close to you because of it because of what happen to his mom, nothing personal just going through a stage of his grief.
