Hi, I don't know what problems you have exactly and whether it is related to Crohn's disease he suffers from or other things, but I learned firsthand that the most important thing in a relationship between partners is, first of all, good communication. I can tell you that I have often fallen into relationships where there was no good communication. It is very important to talk about the things that are bothering you. If you feel that he just pushes you away every time you get close, maybe it's your place to ask him and tell him the things you feel. Maybe it's not at all the way you think and maybe if it is then there are things you can work on in order for the relationship to get better.

I never married this guy, but got to know him so well that I knew exactly what would make him feel good, cause stress, or even make him hate me. And I used that to make our relationship better. I’m no longer dating him because of issues he was unable to resolve, but get to know your partner well. And yes like David said, communicate!
