Thank you, I do too. I've seen him upset quite a few times, but usually over silly things, as apposed to serious family things, so maybe that's it... just feel a bit useless.

Thank you for your advice

I wouldn't take it personally. It may just be his way of dealing with his emotions, especially if he acted the same way before - he might also not want you to see him upset? People do cope with these kind of situations in many different ways and if your relationship is otherwise strong and happy I wouldn't worry.

Give him the space he wants/needs and he will turn to you when he is ready. I hope it all works out family member pulls through

Maybe the boyfriend is just being a bit stressed and will come to you when he's done?

Is he usually a private person when it comes to his family?

No not really, he doesn't get on with his mum or stepdad, and often describes his older brother as 'a waste of space'. I think that's why it's getting to me so much.
