Start off by validating his feelings. “ I understand you’re going through this and that’s ok or u r not alone” type thing. And then explain how you feel. “When I get that all at once it’s hard to go about my day” “ I do want to be here for you and listen” “ I need it in intervals or it’s hard to function when I’m worried about you”

I hope this helps because ya it’s touchy. But he does need to understand there’s a difference between you can be vulnerable and just putting that load on a significant other yk?

Yeah I’ll try this tomorrow morning he’s a bit agitated at the moment but like he’s not my s/o he’s in the talking stage with me and honestly this is making me second guess wanting to commit to a relationship with him.
