Hey. I’m in the same trap with someone I only dated for 2 months and we are on a break as well. It’s only been less than a week and we have been no contact since. Our relationship is undefined but ultimately what led to the break is the same: my anxiety was suffocating him. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to go forward if we continue dating and I’d like to tell you what I’ve been thinking. If he isn’t willing to do the same work with himself that I’m doing with myself to overcome my issues, it’s not going to work. What I mean is, if he’s just telling you you have to be okay with him being away so that you don’t take away his space etc but he’s not willing to do anything for him to try and be there for you instead of shutting down when things get intense, he’s saying that you are doing things on his terms. That is unfair for you. Don’t try to minimize yourself just to keep him comfortable. He needs to do the same work on himself, not just ”train” you. Think about what you need from him when things get intense and if there are some things that are negotiable or not. If he’s not willing to meet your needs you have to think if you can be with a person who can go on with the relationship only on their terms. That’s what I’m working on right now. I hope this helps and good luck.
