missing him

A month ago, my other half said he wanted a break. I said okay, because I know he has a lot going on. (We were together for a year and a half.)  He just graduated and has been having family issues and stuff like that. I asked him yesterday just to catch up on how things were going; just to kinda see where we both were. He said he needed more "time." I don't really know what kinda time he needs 😅 he has never cheated on me, I trust him enough, he's not a bad person. But I'm just sitting here, feeling like some kind of second option or just waiting for him to say something because I miss him so much. Maybe it's because we haven't talked but I hope he feels the same. We have traveled together, we talked about how many kids we want and sharing our lives together; now I'm just that hopeful waiting for something to happen...ladies, what should I do?😓
