He's In Rehab

[lovebird72]

I have been dating my guy for a few months & we also dated many years ago as well. (We are in our 30s) We've had an intense few months as a couple esp. this month b/c he's in rehab for PTSD (military service). It's an open rehab and we're able to text/call/and visit...which I have done the last few wknds. On Fri night I visited him & we had an amazing conversation where he poured his heart out to me. He's never had a problem doing so before, he's very open/honest and forthcoming, but Fri was more intense & he finally said out loud that he is really into me, wants to keep dating me, and is curious to see where we are headed as a couple. However, Sat, he came down w/a terrible sinus/upper resp infection...and he's been down w/it ever since.(He's not faking, I heard his voice). Over the wknd our contact was extra limited b/c he was sleeping round the clock, he did manage to txt me a few times a day, but no phone calls (unusual). The last day or 2 he's been a little better, & he's attending his groups/meetings in rehab (busy schedule 7am-9pm)...and again, very slow on the txting (normal whn he's in groups...not normal at night). Im not clingy...I txt him 1-2x a day...first thing in the a.m. to encourage him for the day..& later if I have something to tell him. I usually let him take the lead b/c of his crazy schedule. Now, I'm trying to be rational about everything, but b/c of the intense convo...& then 4 days of very limited comm...I'm starting to worry that he's pulling away just a bit. Am I crazy? Why would he? If he is pulling away does it for sure mean, "It's over"? How do I proceed? I cannot stand to play games (such as quit txtng him), but I also don't want to come outta nowhere and ask him. Esp if that thought hasn't even crossed his mind. Can he truly just have been SO sick/tired (or babyish) that the effort to call was too much? It's a touchy situation b/c he's in rehab & trying to focus. I don't want to ruin our potential by being the crazy lady. But I'm suddenly in fear. Help! (BTW-All his txts have been as sweet as always-no change there).
