Hi. I agree with fluff in that he is really thinking about what is best for him. At the same time, I am a bit confused. Weren't you the one who wanted to take a break at the beginning? It seems that you upset him because he assume that the space you wanted to take was more than just space and as to be expected he got emotional and overreacted. Of course he loves you and wants to be with you. It is hard for a person to allow themselves to be vulnerable, especially when it means they have to fight for you. I think that you need to decide if you really care for him and want a future with him. If you do, then make an effort. It takes two for a healthy relationship to work. If you need space to figure things out then tell him that you need space but don't want to break up. Maybe dating like you did at the beginning and seeing each other less often is your best option. I don't think that when he threatened to go to Mexico and change his phone number that he was thinking rationally, especially considering that he called you again a few days later. Think about how you feel about him and then go from there! It is ok to be a bit selfish sometime when it comes to these things and decide what is best for you. Good luck!
