I've been with my boyfriend for 11 months. Our relationship wasn't an easy one, at the beginning of our relationship, he was a little depressed and distant, but after a few months he got better and we got closer and closer. He is kind and considerate and treats me very well, but he is also introvert and doesn't crave closeness as much as i do.
A few weeks earlier, he said he is confused about his feeling for me. He said he never felt this close to someone before and he feels no one understands him as much as i do and i'm the best friend he could imagine, that i made him and his life so much better, but he is not sure whether he is in love with me or not and he should figure this out. He said he just told me this cause he knew i would understand and help him.
When we were on this topic, a few times i suggested to break up and i said i would let him go, but he resisted and said he wouldn't want a breakup and he just has to figure things out.
So what should i do now? is there anything i can do to help him or should i just break up with him and move on?

Welcome to the Community, parand. He is being ambivalent. To say he needs to figure things our but was not sure if he was in love with you is an interesting state of affairs.

Not all relationships include love. The people make it work because they like being together.

You have a choice to make. You cannot make up his mind for him. He did not say how much time it would take to make up his mind. If after a reasonable time, you do not have an answer, maybe being apart will either be the right decision or help him make a commitment.
