My boyfriend and me have been living together for 3 years. We've had a rough time lately due to bad miscommunication and not listening to each others needs and being stubborn and arguing. I love him so much and I think he makes my life better but he recently took some of his stuff and left to go to his sisters. He's been gone for a week and keeps giving me mixed signals he's saying we shouldn't be together as of right now because he doesn't want to jump back in without knowing something has changed but he wants to work on it. He texts me sometimes but mostly ignores me and he's saying he needs time to think and work on himself. I told him he needs to communicate with me as I don't want to stay in our apartment and I can't afford it by myself if we aren't together but he told me to stay and he'll contribute for now but he's not coming back to live here yet. When I try to communicate with me he says he can't talk about his feelings right now as he's confused. He visited me once last week and spent the night here, he kissed me and hugged me and I loved it but I'm just sat here thinking what if he's just trying to wean off me. Either way I think the way he's handling things is really selfish as it's hurting me, giving me hope to hold onto him and I would have to start looking for a new place to live if he's leaving. All he says is soon he'll give me answers.
