I don’t know how to deal with my partner’s emotional confusion, is it just a bad phase?

I don’t know how to deal with my partner’s confusion about our relationship. At the beginning of the week, he told me he has been feeling strange and confused for months, but he can’t explain exactly why. This left me really shaken, because I want to continue the relationship and I always thought we were doing well.

Now I feel lost, not knowing how to act. I don’t know if this is just a difficult phase, a moment of emotional exhaustion, fear of breaking up, or if it means he truly doesn’t want to be with me anymore.

I want to fight for the relationship, but I also don’t know how far insisting is the right thing to do when the other person is so confused. I’m afraid I’m trying to hold on to something that has already ended, but I’m also afraid of giving up too soon on someone I love.
