Grief

My boyfriend is grieving as his nan died , he wanted me there at the start for the first 2 months as his shoulder to cry on and now he’s in his anger stage and everything he feels gets taken out: deflected on me. I asked him if he needed space and he said yes so our relationship doesn’t get ruined from what he’s going through , I’m just finding it very hard and lonely and don’t recognise the person I’ve been with for the last 2 years, any advice ?

Don't make big decisions in times of discernment.
Definitely keep checking in with him, listen to him, be firm that it is not acceptable to take his frustration out on you, signpost him to services that could help him. Grief is tough and it's lasts ages, but is something everyone has to deal with at multiple points throughout your life. Ultimately I think it's the tough times that show whether someone is the one for you.

My boyfriend is taking all his emotions out on me and won’t let me be there for him whilst grieving , at the start I was the person he cried too and told all his emotions too now 2 months later he goes to his friends instead of me and takes everything out on me , I’m giving him space but he’ll message me after saying he wants space , I’m confused and don’t know what to do as he’s angry and takes it out on me all the time
