He loves me, he loves me not

[claudia]

Ok so my boyfriend of 5 months was acting a bit strange one day, seemingly ignoring me and answering any my question as if he was forced to. After few hurtful days of that i finally broke and said to him (on facebook chat) that it was really hurtful and why did he change like that. He totally snapped then saying things like - all i ever done in this relationship is try to make you happy - and he started to repeat that - it was just too much and he just cant do this anymore because he has another things to think about as well. Me, being shocked, didnt argue about that at all, he was the most sweetest most gentleman-est person ive ever met in my life but what i did manage to understand is that for around the whole month before that chat he considered me constantly sad and for some reason he was blaming himself for my ''sadness''. We're both in school and he does have guitar as well as violin as well as religion as well as rugby after school, i totally see how being stressed about me aswell would be too much, so what i did is i made up a lie. I told him that because of my family history of depression i also get clinically depressed and that it was not his fault because whatever he wouldve done i wouldve had it anyway. However around 3 days afterwards he just broke up with me saying that he would always remember me and that i would always be in his heart. Well me not liking to lie to people i love said that since this is over i might aswell tell you the truth and i told him all about me not understanding his illusion of my sadness. He said the usual you shouldve told me the truth from the start crap and i said you had no reason to blame yourself so i just wanted to blame my supposed sadness onto something other than you. Long conversation short he said he (loved me and) wanted some time and that during that time we both be single BUT i was to still be around him and talk to him as i would normally. Of course i couldnt possibly do that seeing as i still cry just thinking about him and its been 3 weeks since the break up. Please. Please! Help me, what do i need to do to get him back??? Or do i just accept that its over?? I do love him with all my heart but if he really still loves me wouldnt he do anything to be with me??
