My boyfriend is depressed

My boyfriend and i had a “break” the reason is to fix ourselves but i found out he was talking to a girl. The girl was there when he was lonely and needed somebody. I wasn’t there (LDR), I wish i was there. I don’t want him to let go because I love him so much, I don’t want to be just a past, I want to be his present and future.

He doesn’t want to be with me anymore because according to him, he will just hurt me. But I need him. I fucking need him. I don’t want him to leave me.

I want to help him and be there.

Any advice? Do you think I should let go of him? Or wait for him?

No mean comments please.
