I don’t have a straight answer to this. Haven’t been in your exact situation. But my bf and I have had to communicate about this kind of thing because sometimes both of us have genuine reasons to want space. Like for me, sometimes skin to skin contact is just too overwhelming.

He understands that if I don’t want to be touched, it’s not because I don’t love him. I just need to recharge or sleep for a bit and then we can cuddle. I understand that if he needs space, there’s a reason (his thing to share not mine, but it is a real reason)

We communicate so there’s no confusion. But having that go on for a few weeks must be really difficult for both of you.

For me personally, knowing the underlying cause is usually enough to control how I feel about something. But everyone is different. Everyone’s emotions respond differently. This might be something yo talk over with someone who knows you well, like a friend or therapist.

Also, might help to spend some time with other people you care about. That way you don’t end up lonely and isolated every time he gets depressed.
