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.
I cant just stop by and bring him meals :( otherwise I would. Hes at a hospital hours and hours from here

Wow, how awful!
The thing is, and I think you realize this, It's not up to you, it's up to him. All you can do is think about him, and be there for him if/when he needs you. He is upset, even a little embarrassed, I'm sure. I think he will come to realize that a caring, loving girlfriend is a huge asset in his life.
I think you're playing it just right. Be there for him, call him once in a while, give him the time and space he needs to sort things out. I tend to think that if you're right for each other at all, he'll come back to you. He just needs some time to think.

Does he like a restaurant that offers take-out or may offer take-out in this particular circumstance? Get a dinner from there and bring it to him. Tell him you stopped by with a nice hot meal so he can keep his strength up and wanted to stop by and give him a hug. You don't need to stay long... just long enough to let him know you are thinking about him.
I'm a female, but I'd probably push everyone away to deal with feelings on my own. I internalize things a lot. However, I would appriciate little thoughtful things such as that.
I don't know what this shows in terms of your relationship. It's very tricky. On the one hand, he could be alienating himself. On the other hand, maybe he just doesn't want to deal with 2 month relationship. Are you willing to just freeze your dating life for the next few weeks until you see what happens? I don't think you want to just break up right now. He's not thinking clearly, and he may actually care about you... meaning that will send him over the edge. His mind is swirling. Who knows what he is thinking? HE may not even know what he is thinking. I bet within the next week or so you'll all have a better answer as to how his parents are doing.

That is really sad. You are doing what he has asked, he just needs to figure out how to deal with all this tragedy. It's about him and his family right now, you are doing the right thing to respect his wishes. Sometimes, in times of sadness, people don't know how to reach out. I would continue to text him only once per day, maybe in a few days ask him if you can take him out for dinner.

well the first thing is to accept what happened and think of ways to cope or work with it. next you should give your bf space for a long while or at least until u have heard the news. i myself have had a time like this and u really really do want to be on your own. im sorry this happened to you guys im sure you are nice people but as i said the main thing is to accept it, whether the outcome is they live or you know..
hope i helped
god bless you

How awful for him and his relatives. i could actual honor his request for a wreck. you have not been at the same time long adequate to be completely bonded. exact now, he does not have time for a female buddy and you need to be pleased together with his honesty. i does not evaluate you extremely broken up a minimum of not exact now. yet whilst his mothers and dads do not proceed to exist or the two one in each of them with a protracted restoration era, you're able to commence thinking approximately yet another relationship. it might take him destiny years around.

You need to stop taking this personally.
It's impossible to know what will happen.
Checking in on status, as long as he doesn't send signals you're asking too often, is fine. You'll just have to wait it out.
