Hi Rmjj!
It sounds like your partner is experiencing all the symptoms I went through. Not uncommon.
I would suggest that you allow him time to find his peace - even if it means taking a break from each other because the need for solitude is very typical of people in your partners situation. It is not a reflection of a change in their feelings for you, but an unexplainable symptom of our illnrss.
Take care
K
