My guy needs a "break", but still wants to be my boyfriend?

So my boyfriend of 3yrs and I had a fight. We didnt talk for 3days. When we cooled down and had a heart-to-heart talk, he said he was unhappy and has been for several months. He stated, “I’ve lost my inner self, my happiness and I need to find it once again.” With that, I have to move out of our home (apt) and give him the space he’d like, and also hope that he once more finds in life the things that make him happy. I am in no way upset in his choice, I love him with all my heart! The kicker to our “break”, is that he still wants to be boyfriend/girlfriend. Ummm, what does that mean??? Im so confused… im not sure how to feel about this. Our families are praying for us both bc we ALL undoubtably thought we’d be getting engaged for our 3yr… not seperated.

Answer #1

taking a break doesnt mean breaking up. you are still technically together, but at the end of the break, you discuss what you have learned or whatever and then decide if it is best if you stay together or split up

Answer #2

It just means he want a bit of time to himself. He still loves you. Give him a bit of space an he’ll be back to normal
