He needs time to "think"????

Question

(im 20 hes 21) I ended a 2 yr and 1/2 relationship 2 wks ago impulsively i just got mad and said the magic words,So last Friday when i tried getting back with my [X] he told me he needs time to think about us about the way he acts and the way i act and just the way his life is going since hes been going through hard times. So should i give him the time and space he says he needs.? Its hard really hard when all he does is call me and text me daily and tell me he loves me and wants to be with me but not to incist on getting back with him because he will tell me when hes ready. what does he mean if he loves me why have time off?

*let me add the break up wasnt because of cheating or lying it was more like he got on my nerves because he was acting childish and the words just sliped out of my mouth..

** also he is being not a jerk but hes confusing me with "i love you" "i miss you" "i want to be with you messages" why is he "thinking" and still wants me around why not just get togethe

Answer 1

Well, he naturally feels bad because you dumped him. He is not 'thinking' about anything....guys don't do that. He is simply forgetting about you, seeing how life is without you and if he likes it or not. He may even be trying for another woman(he has the freedom to do that after 2 and a half years lock in with you). So his time to think could easily be time to have sex with someone else.
