Complicated break-up?

We dated for a month then he asked me to be his girlfriend and we were together for 7 months.

He broke up with me because, in his words: a combination of several things. After that he said that he still loves me and still wants to be here for me. But as for a relationship it would be better if we'd put the focus on our own lives. He also told me he forgot himself and others because he could only think about us two, and me.

Some facts about him, his love language is acts of service. He is in serious debt and I was his first real relationship (his other one lasted only a month). My horse became his hobby too and when we were together he'd always help me when he could also on days I couldn't make it he took care of my horse by himself. We are on the same page on things we want when we'd look at the future and he always told me he wanted to live together once one of us was able to move out from our parents.

The thing that got inbetween us was our lack of communication. Which has led to arguments and some fights. Now we have both apologized to each other for about everything we once said and done to one another and have forgiven eachtother aswell. We are still connected on social media and our playlist also still exist. He made it very clear to me he wants to keep me in his life, he still wants to be friends. I also had asked him before our break-up if he could take care of my horse on x day (in two weeks) and he still is going to. His boots are still at the barn. Now about me, I was under a lot! of stress because of my old job and the old barn my horse used to stay at. And I have not been the best version of myself also not towards my ex. He helped me find the guts to change job and barn. But I did not appreciate it enough, nor him..

We agreed we'd chat with each other next weekend, be it on whatsapp or a phone call. He initiated this. I always have had this gut feeling that he was the one. I want to fight for this, but I do also want to give him space
