New Boyfriend's parents in horrible car accident?
Well my new boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 months now, but we are very close and know almost everything about each other already. Last week his grandma died, and I helped to comfort him through that and things were getting back to normal. Almost exactly one week later (Wednesday night) his parents got into a horrible car accident and both might not survive. My boyfriend is an EMT and works with an ambulance service and he was one of the people that responded to his own parents accident. I can't even imagine how had that was.
So he's in the hospital with them, and told me that he needs some time away from me. I mean I understand that, this is a big tough thing hes going through, but do you think this is a temporary thing? Or are we broken up for good? I can't really talk to him about this right now, he has way more important things going on. I feel really horrible because I want to be there for him and help him, but he doesn't want me there and I take things like that personally. I just want other peoples opinions. Guys, would you want that too? Girls what would you do?
I have left him alone, but I text him once a day to ask how he, and his parents are, and to tell him that if he ever needs anything I am here. What can I do?! This is really hard for me to deal with because I hate that such a wonderful guy has to go through this, and he doesn't even want me there to help him.
Thank you so far, I wasnt even THINKING about asking to spend time with him, I just wanted to know if I could bring anything for him, or if he needs to talk..I know that if this happened to me I WOULD want him there, thats what makes me sad

This is very hard on him. He must feel really alone right now and may feel that you can't do anything for him and can't make things better.
I really suggest that you continue to do what you are doing. Text him once a day, call him every 2 days or something to ask how he is. Always remind him that you're there if he needs anything.
Do not ask to spend time with him. Give him space. Please don't take this personally. If he was your new boyfriend and this happened to YOU, you would be feeling a million things inside you, including fear of losing your parents. Your new boyfriend can't do anything to help you and you would feel really alone. You'd also feel really sad and alone to the point where you don't want him to hold you as you cry your eyes out. Well at least not right now.
Good luck.

How awful for him and his family. I would definitely honor his request for a break. You haven't been together long enough to be totally bonded. Right now, he doesn't have time for a girlfriend and you should be proud of his honesty. I would not consider you really broken up at least not right now. But if his parents don't survive or either one of them with a long recovery period, you might start thinking about another relationship. It might take him years to come around.
