When guys say they are stressed and need to dial back is this really what they mean? I told him that we should just be done because he is going through a very mental and stressful situation and I was getting confused with his actions he said he didn’t want to end it but is needing to figure this out on his own and didn’t want to take me down with him. We haven’t talked since because I’m respecting the time he needs to just concentrate on his situation but I have no intentions of reaching out first
I’m living my life regardless but I have never had a guy tell me this before so figured I’d get some other insight on this

I think you’re doing the right thing. Give him space and let him come back if/when he’s ready.
Usually yes, not always, but usually
Men tend to be straightforward. So it is what he says imo.
I mean it’s up to you. He told you how it is. Whether you want to be patient and give him space or apologize and date other people then it is up to you. Honestly doesn’t sound like you’re interested anyways.
Yeah, live your life as if it’s over. If/when he reaches out again, you can re-evaluate and decide what you want to do. But certainly sounds like his issue, not yours.
Does it make a difference considering that the result will be the same anyway?
Doesn’t sound like you’re interested so I say just do what you’re already thinking of doing. You don’t need us to validate your decision.
He’ll come back if she doesn’t work out.
