I've been seeing a guy for a few months and from the start I have always known that he has been worried about having cancer in his jaw and he was waiting for a scan following a routine dentist appointment.
We don't live near each other and in the run up to the scan he has been getting very stressed - often shutting me out, leaving my what's app messages unread for days and then coming back to me as if nothing has happened.
Having had a serious scare myself, I have offered to go with him but he wanted to do this on his own and I respected his wishes but said I was there for him.
Last week, he became more distant not wanting to talk but knowing that the scan was imminent I gave him space.
Yesterday, he had the scan so I kept it light and wished him good luck and asked him to please let me know how he got on.
My message has been left unread.
My instinct is to leave it to him to come back to me because if I ask how it went it could push him further back and then part of me wants to reach out to show how much I care.
I'm worried sick about him.
Am I doing the right thing?
