Thats a tough one. He broke up with you without really breaking up with you.

A pause. Taking this at face-value . . . . well it is true that under pressure many people do withdraw.

I guess he is saying that he can only handle you as a friend right now. Were you putting him under pressure? Like did he feel torn between meeting your needs and dealing with his family issues?

Some guys feel a little overwhelmed at times by both the idle time requirement their GF's can require as well as emotionally overloaded if their GF is a "Venter."

If he felt really supported he shouldn't have felt the need to take a break.

All I can say is that you have to look after yourself right now. Assume he broke up with you and treat it that way. Take care of yourself. Hang with your girls, explore your options.

If you guys get back together later thats great, but you can't count on it. And its unfair of him to expect you to just sit idly by and wait and suffer.

Good luck.
