    My boyfriend who lives in the UK is becoming stressed with his work load from school and society as well. He also told me he becomes less emotional with everyone over time. I'm scared that he'll leave. However he said the best thing I can do when he's stressed is to distance myself because he gets angry when he's stressed and he loves me too much to hurt me. I want to do something for him. He lives 3,000 miles away, but there has to be SOMETHING I can do. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    If he's asking you to give him space because he's stressed then I'd suggest giving him some space and then checking in in a day or three just to let him know you're thinking of him. Perhaps send him a funny ecard or cartoon message to try to make him laugh if his personality runs that way.

    Just a thought,
