My bf broke up with me over the weekend because we’d been getting into lots of little spats last week. I tried to explain to him that it was probably because we both have exams, and I’ve been worrying about the summer (how things would work, etc.). He said he realizes that, but he thinks this is the best decision. He told me he still loves me and wants to hang out a lot. I told him that I miss him, and he said he misses me too, and he hates having to do this, but sometimes we have to do things that aren’t easy. He said he thinks we’ll work better as friends.
I’ve tried to tell him how I feel, but how do respond when you tell him you still love him and he says, "I know, I still love you, too, and I always will?" I really want him back – he’s been indecisive in the past – I’m hoping he’ll realize he made a mistake.
What do you think? What can I do?
I’m 23, he’s 24. We’ve been together for 9 months.

We have been together for 6 years, married 3. Like every other marriage, we have our fights and spats. To be honest, I have not been the best wife there is. He has always gone above and beyond for me and our two kids. I have never really appreciated him and I’ve always tried to control him. He stopped seeing his friends for me because I was insecure of who he hung out with. He has put up with it for at least 4 years and always did what made me happy. Fast forward to present, he has two new jobs new freinds and will be starting school. He sat me down and told me he has not been happy. He said he will be making changes within himself and not be the person I have turned him into. He also said his top priorities will be his kids and his work/school. He said he needs space to find himself again and if he wants to stay married. It’s so difficult for me to swallow this, and he still lives at home. He says he will always be here for me and the kids no matter what and who knows what will happen. Please help, I’m falling apart. I’ve pushed my husband away and it may be too late for apologies. Should I move out w/ our kids?
