Break?

So my boyfriend of 6 months announced to me that he wanted a break today. And when I asked why he said i have to finish a school assignment and just leaves?! I called him and he’s super silent so I ask him what’s the deal? He says he can’t say anything and is struggling with his words so he says “I’ll text you sometime” like what the fuck?!

UPDATE: I told him that the break was nonsense and we were just avoiding a break up so we broke up. Thanks for the advice girls
