So my now ex boyfriend and I split up on Friday, but I'm so confused by the conversation that occurred. He initiated the conversation by saying he felt like things weren't working; He recognized that he had been distancing himself for a while because he didnt know how to proceed in a relationship with me but was afraid to tell me because he didnt want to cause any upset. He said he feels he isnt emotionally mature enough yet to give me the kind of relationship I want, but claimed that if he was two years older he believed things would have worked out well. This whole time he kept insisting that he loves me and doesnt want me to be upset...he suggested taking a week break and coming back and seeing how we feel. But from the way the conversation went it was clear he hadn't been happy for a while and was more afraid of upsetting me than stopping the relationship months ago. At the end of the conversation he said the final decision was mine — and I decided that breaking up was the best thing to do. It hurt so badly because I had put everything I could into the relationship and truly love him with all my heart, but giving it a week would only put a bandaid on it and allow him more time to figure out how to end it at the end of the seven days. I didnt want him to be trapped in something that made him so unhappy any longer, and so I said it should be over. We were both crying at this point, and before he left he kissed me. Not even a gentle kiss, a full on one...its been so difficult because we live in the same corridor at uni and are in the same friend group, and now he refuses to even look at me. I'm trying to give him his space but I have no idea where to go from here.
