If I give him space, will he come back?

well I went with this guy for a year. I knew him for a year before that. well a month ago he told me that he couldn't be in a relationship and that he needed space. he said it wasn't me at all. he said that he felt that he couldn't commit 100 percent because of his past relationships. in his past he gave 100 percent and in return both women cheated on him and broke his heart. he says now he needs time to get hisself together. he says he still loves me and cares about me a lot. he says im his backbone. we still live together too. we still have s@x. he says we shouldnt cause its making it harder for him because he cares so much about me. he says he feel like he doesn't deserve me. he said he rather have me as the closest female to him then not have me at all. he said he cant imagine life without me. well now with the new space thing he hangs out with his friends. I try not to call him but he ends up calling me. I love him and want him back. if I give him his space will he come back to me? what should I do?

This guy sounds fishy. He's getting s*x with you, and then saying he can't commit? Then he keeps doing it?? This guy is BAD NEWS! He's scrounging around for s*x wherever he can get it, and then playing the pity card so that he can have his way with you again and again. He's not having a hard time, he's playing you so he can get it on!! Break it off and leave him!

You've been dating a year, and now he wants his space because he cant commit himself due to past relationships? He commited himself for a year, but now he cant? Thats a good one! First of all, NO COMMITMENT, NO SEX !! Your still good enough to sleep with, but not be in a relationship with? He is telling you what you want to hear! Guys do that so they dont have to deal with all the emotions/drama. If he TRULY loved/cared about you, he would still be commited to you!
He cant imagine his life without you? Then why are you only the sex buddy? Sweetie, you need to wake up. He doesnt want a future with you. He has most likely found something more interesting hanging out with his friends. You dont need to break up with someone just because you need space. Theres more going on here then he is telling you. Dont be naive.....listen to what he is showing you, not what he is telling you!!!!!

I find this guy fishy too. If he did not want a commitment, then maybe he should have not started dating you in the first place. As angel said, how is it that he was able to commit for a year? Now all of a sudden he can't commit? That just does not make sense.

So basically he broke up with you because he cares about you and cannot imagine his life without you? Sounds like a load of bull to me.

angelfire girl you took tha words right out my mouth. He is dogging you out girl! I been there done that in my situation. You need to realize what your about and do you need a no good man like him. He ain't thinking about you cause when you love a person you want them right there with you. Kick him to tha curb he ain't no good. And he's showing you all tha signs. IF YOU LAY DOWN WITH A DOG YOU GET UP WIT FLEAS!! LET HIS TAIL GO!!

YES! he probably will. im so sorry that happened to you. it happened to me too. it may take time though. disappointing but true.
