My ex broke up with me, is there a chance for us?

venting/ranting

Hi, so my boyfriend of 3 years recently broke up with me because he says that he needs to be alone.

He said that it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to be with me and that its just that he feels like he needs to be alone.

He also said that he still love me and all the feeling are still there.

He told me that he feels that he has lost himself because of the relationship because of what being with me carried. He said that i’m way too dependant on him (which is true) and that some of my behaviours during the relationship have left him feeling anxious even though he knows i’ve changed. he said that he wants to be alone indefinitely not because he doesn’t love me nor because he doesn’t think that i can change but because that change is a long process and he wouldnt feel okay during that process. he feels like he needs to be alone in order to drive away the toxic patterns that have been embedded on his brain because of everything that has happened.

he told me that he wants us to be friends and be able to talk to each other and even be able to hang out like we used to (we used to be best friends and we are on the same friend group).

he told me that if we find each other on a good place and we are able to be friends again that he wouldn’t mind going back together.

he has been very clear that he loves me and everythin so idk.

on june 8th we have a concert which we agreed to go together, we are still going to.

the thing is, i’m leaving to china to study for a year on august so that’s scary too.

am i delusional for thinking that we will be back together? i really feel like he’s the love of my life and i want to be able to fight for him. for now, i’m focusing on working on myself and giving him the space he needs. he also stated that for now he doesn’t want to be with me and he would like for us to go back together but he doesn’t want me to have hope because he said that he doesnt know what the future will bring us. he doesnt want anything to do with any other women at least..!
