We broke up... venting

So i broke up w my bf last week bc he needs to figure himself out. I 100% just gave him space, i didn’t contact him or do anything, this morning i wake up and i have messages from him? I’m like?? I still like him ALOT but I’m working on self eestem and taking care of myself, but i didn’t continue the conversation further because i don’t want to be someone’s prop for them to feel better ab what they did to me? Also bc as much as I’d love to say just come back i don’t think it’s appropriate. It hurts me and i did tell him i would be his friend, but I’ve been okay for the most part. I don’t cry much about it, take it with a grain of salt. I don’t have anyone to talk too about it so i just come here
