How can I help my boyfriend?

Okay, so basically my boyfriend has been acting a little distant lately due to stress and because a few days ago his father got into an accident where he broke all of his ribs and arm and elbow and more. One of his best friends (who Lives in another city) tells me he never tells her anything which is surprising because they are BEST FRIENDS after all. Atm this is a long distance relationship but I really love him and care about him and want him to be okay. He hasn't read any of my messages yet. I know he feels the same way about me but this is a rough time. The fact that he keeps things from his friends (his stress, to an extent the accident) are signs that he truly trusts me. I usually spam him while he's away and he'll leave a long reply back but people are telling me to not do that as much? It just hurts me so much and I can't even figure out why since the accident didn't even happen to me. He's a really great guy and I told him I care about him and I love him and I am here for him. What else can I do? Because it honestly really hurts. Thanks for your help

    People deal with stress in different ways. Not everyone will want to share things openly.

    I used to be involved with someone who seemed to communicate like you did. She knew I didn't answer back all the time, but when I did, it was long and tailored, and she felt happy. And I appreciated her persistence, as it was like a constant stream of sunshine, despite all of the bad things that were going on in my life.

    I think he cares about you in his own way. Don't change anything. He knows you're there for him. Continue like this!

    Well. For now I do think you should just tell him you love him and that you are here for him. But don't bother him too much. He needs a little time to be alone and think. Just tell him your there for him and when he wants to talk just listen to him and assure him everything will be okay(I've went through something similar.) I hope this helps!
