What length of time to give? 49F, 43M

My (49F) partner (43M) is dealing with some issues with his teenage child and he told me that his mood was low vexation of physical/ mental exhaustion from work and child issues. He kind of poured himself out telling me he cares about me, adores me and didn't want to hurt me. He also said that he needed "a little time" to sort through these things and didn't want to dump chaos on me. I'm conflicted. We've been together 5 months. I'm feeling like if a few weeks goes past, I'm out. He still contacts me daily, but things are lighter--no flirty texts, but more like what's going on generally without a heavy emotive text.

TL;DR: partner of 5 months said he needed some time to work through parenting/ mental health issues but still contacts me every day and I'm conflicted about whether this is a slow fade I need to cut off.
