The one thing you need to realize is that this is VERY TYPICAL male behavior for dealing with problems. That's how a lot of us, as men, cope with our problems. We withdrawal and "go to our cave" so to speak so that we can think about it.
The most important thing you can do for him is LET HIM DO THIS. Don't pressure him to communicate his feelings in the way YOU do, as a woman. Let him handle his issue the best way he knows how. And most of us men simply handle these things through isolation.
Granted, he cannot do this for TOO LONG, but for now give him the chance to be alone and sort his issues. The worst thing you can do is pressure him to talk about it when he is in this phase.
