My bf (m22) out of no where tells me he is unhappy and wants to be alone and feels he needs to take a break so I moved back in with my parents. I wanna give him the space he needs but I am also so confused on where we went wrong. We are each others 1st love and 1st real relationship. He said he still loves me and he doesn’t want to hurt me but he just needs space to process his emotions and clear his head. I feel another girl could possibly be involved and thats why he wants a break but I don’t want to overthink it because he told me he’s loyal and it’s all about him trying to get better for me. I’m stuck trying to pretend I’m okay when I’m not I’m so lost and confused he was my everything and I guess that’s where I went wrong.

First, you are two drastically different people at 22 than when you were at 17. It’s possible you’ve just grown in different directions and this isn’t working for him anymore. If your going on a break, and it’s not a break up, then you have to set boundaries. When/if you still talk, if either of you can see other people, and when you will reassess whether you stay together or not. If he can’t commit to those things, then it is a break up not a break and start moving on.
