Do I wait or move on??

My boyfriend of 8 months broke up with me because of his family problems. We were so perfectly fine nothing changed until he woke up and decided his problems were too much. He said he needs time to get his mind straight. I understand he’s going through a lot. But he was just perfect, we never argued he never did anything without asking, whenever he was out he’d always send me pictures and videos etc... when he was breaking up I ask if it’s what he REALLY wanted, he never said yes or no, then he said it’s hurting him more than me(you have no idea how wrong that is I’ve cried since Thursday my eyes don’t open I can’t even eat anything). Yesterday I asked if he just wanted time, as in a break, or if he wanted to leave forever his answer was “I don’t know yet...” I honestly only want him those were the best 8 months of my whole life. I’m so stuck on him, he was my first everything. I can’t find myself hating anything about him at all, everything he did was the cutest to me. It hurts so much I miss him so much i just want him to talk to me
