My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for about five months now. Things started out really quickly and seriously. I was just getting out of a long term relationship when I met him and he is in the middle of a divorce. We both are going through a lot and have been leaning on each other for support. Definitely spend a lot of time together and we're even talking about moving in together up until about a week ago when the house deal fell through. Last night he told me he thinks that we both need to deal with our own issues so that we can be happy with ourselves before trying to make someone else happy. He wants to go back to the "dating" stage, stop spending as much time together, and work on ourselves. He insists that he loves me and doesn't want to be with anyone else.
To me it sounds like he's just prolonging breaking up with me. I also don't think it's healthy to have so many issues for such a new relationship.
What do you think, could he really mean what he says? Should we break it off completely to work on ourselves for a while, or can we do that while still maintaining a dating relationship?
