This has been a reoccurring theme in our relationships both previous and currently. He said he wanted to break up and then declares his love for me over and over. He thought we were spending too much time together so when I'm doing me (I am currently reading Veronica's Book and spending the night by myself) and you know living my life because I will not be defined or scared about this relationship ending any longer he asks me to sleep over. So I'm confused as to what to do. I know that I have been feeling better since being away from his family (his mom sometimes has really negative energy, and it takes a toll on our relationship) and getting back to myself but I obviously want to be with him all of the time, but he was just not appreciating me; I wasn't appreciating me and the relationship was going downhill. But what I'm not confident about is, that this space away even if it is just a day or two is a good thing. I love my boyfriend but at this time I have lost bits and pieces of myself by putting energy into things outside of our relationship and worrying about his issues. 
It might just be that I have a little bit of fear surrounding abandonment of the relationship but I really don't have anything to fear about. This is my time and absence makes the heart grow fonder....right?
