Aries Men...Very Confusing

I've been dating an Aries guy for about 6 months. We have known each other for several years, but never in a situation to date, until now. We both thought this was the greatest situation. We seemed great until about 3 weeks ago when he totally shut down. This happened once before and I said something to him, we hadn't talked in a week, he apologized for making me feel like I had done something, he said he was under a lot of stress, etc. I am a very understanding Gemini and just asked him to be open with me when he was going through things so I would know it was not me. So, again, he is shutting me out, no texts or calls unless I have initiated them. We have plans for the next few weeks and have incorporated our kids within our families and they are still doing things while we are out. Will Aries men just hang on for the sake of being there and including family and personal time with someone they are really not interested in or am I just over thinking this and just need to give him space??? I really care about this man, he is wonderful and is a wonderful father and person in general, I really don't want to do or say the wrong thing to him to mess this up....
Best thing to do is play dead. What I mean by that is, like Miha said DO NOT initiate contact.
Thats what ill be doing from now on when I am dating someone and they decide to drop off the face of the earth. Its a clear indication that they aint feeling me like that. So nothing left to to do but fall back and focus my energy on myself and on someone who wants my attention.
