my partner of 4 yrs & I have been on a break since May. His dad died after a long illness & he needed time alone to get to grips with things.
We have been spending more & more time together lately & things seemed to be returning to "normal". He scattered his dads ashes & said he felt much better. During our time together he held my hand whilst we watched a film & lounged on me- kind of used my leg as a cushion! However, we didnt kiss or anything. I didnt mind as it was nice to return to the 1st flush of dating but now he has backed off again. After asking me round to watch films or hang out he now doesnt seem to want me to at all.
I wonder if he thought that after scattering the ashes everything would be fine but its still not bought his lovely dad back.
I miss him terribly & desparately want him back, but more than that I want to support & help him. Having never lost a parent its hard to understand.
I am 29 & he is 34 (his dad was his only parent- his mum has been absent for yrs)
