“Hey, forgive me for not kissing you, I just need time and space to feel happy and normal again”

The last thing he sent me after talking for two hours, saying he felt disconnected in the relationship, contemplated breaking up but said then that he would reconnect.

I’m absolutely devastated. I also don’t know what he means by this text. His friends are still actively texting me (about other stuff) and nothing seems off with them. Am I right in understanding that would be a weird thing to send if it was a true and final breakup?
