Break up after 5 years

Hillary
Girls, my bf left me on Friday night after 5 years. He seemed to be pulling away over the past few months but just assumed he's stressed because of some family issues. He said a lot of things on Friday.
---
I'm not happy and haven't been for a long time
You're not affectionate enough
We shouldn't have to try we should just work
I don't want to leave but I have to
I don't know if or when I'll be back
So I stay and things are better for 6 months or a year then were right back to where we are now
I have my doubts (about me being able to be a better gf for him)
---
I am so hurt and heart broken and blindsided by this decision.
How do you move on from this?
How long do I wait to put our photos away?
How long do I wait to contact him (I want to give him space but don't want him to think I'm not making an effort)?
If he contacts me do I respond?
Have any of you been on the other side of this where your bf came back?
Omg idk what to do?!?!?! 💔😭
