My boyfriend and I were so in love and the other day he told me he does not want to break up with me he just needs space.. Then the next day He said his life is just a mess and he can't give the relationship 100%.. And that he needs time to figure out if I am the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with. And those words really hert bad. Everything was fine a week ago I just don't know what changed his mind.. Help?

His feelings have most likely changed and this is probably his way of 'easing out' of your relationship.
Wanting space most often mean they want to keep you hanging around for a bit until they are 100% sure that it's time to call it quits.

Give him all the space in the world and disappear from his life.

Sounds like he's starting to back out like amicon said. He's using the "my life is a mess" excuse as a route to exit the relationship. I could be wrong but that's my guess at least.

Regardless, give him what he wants. Go have some fun and do what makes you happy. If he wants to be in this relationship then he'll come back to you and you can be the one to make the decision whether you still want to be with him or not.

I know that it's tough to hear, but even though his life is a mess, this is the time to lean on your significant other for support.

The fact that he doesn't want you part of his life, while he's in a rough patch means that his feelings for you aren't as strong as you think. He's just using "his life is a mess" as an excuse to ease out of the relationship. Basically, he's trying to let you down easy by trying to take the blame himself.

Some people take breaks and do get back together. It does happen, but not very often. :( I think he is letting you down easily but is trying to keep the door to your relationship open by giving you a sense of hope that the break is only temporary. This is only a temporary break if he doesn’t hook up with someone new and he starts feeling lonely. He’ll only come back if the loneliness gets the best of him and there are no other prospects. If he meets a new girl the break will be for real. If he’s loving single life the break will last a very long time, at least until he tires of flying solo, and still then there are no guarantees that he’ll land back with you. He may opt to settle down with the first new cute girl he meets. Then how will you feel?

Accept this and live your life as if you were broken up for good. Date other guys. Don’t hang out with him and don’t contact. This is the only way you’ll stay sane throughout “the break.” Treat it as if it were a complete break up. Who knows? Maybe once you see this break for the break up that it really is you’ll find that it is you who doesn’t want him anymore. Either way, this guy has cut you loose; it’s about time you did the same.

Men aren't necessities, they're luxuries.

Sometime you just have to hold your head up high, blink away the tears and say good-bye.

You always say you hate to see me hurt, and you hate to see me cry. So all those times that you hurt me, did you close your eyes?

This is only a nice way to dump you, sorry, but its best to let a partner you're not sure about, and can't count on go. There are better ones out there, who won't leave when the going gets tough. That's what you want.
