Break Up & Divorce

My ex dumped me but wanted to keep in contact but he said he wanted space?

(Long) We’ve been dating for 1 year and we’re good together but there’s a conflict between us that’s been a core problem for us for the past months. When I finally got an answer from him and I figured things out, he decided that he’s tired of me. He said he’s never happy with me like he was before and he’s just tired of me. I told him that I know what is what now and I know how to make it work and make it right but he keeps denying me. He ignored me for a whole day and decided by himself that we should be separated. He didn’t even want to meet me until he had to take his stuffs that he needed from me. I asked him if he would still want to work it out but he declined with a straight face. I didn’t handle the break up well. I didn’t eat for 3 days, not because I want to, because I just couldn’t. I would vomit when I eat but he was doing fine, he told me he’s doing fine. He told me he doesn’t see a future together with me nor seeing us getting back together. He chose himself over us but I chose us over myself. He kept telling me there’s no chance but just let him stay in contact (despite telling me he wanted space). I told him to not do things out of pity and he agreed, he only did it because I asked him to which I clearly told him to stop. But after the talk, he’s trying to message me again. He knows how devastated I was and the break up was only a few days ago so I tried to talk to him less. What does he want exactly? Saying things like he swear on his mom he couldn’t find any other girls and we used to go on a trip with his mom abroad. One time he told me I had a chance another time he told me there’s no chance and when I asked him to be clear he just kept saying, I don’t know, not now, I don’t know. He left me when I needed him most and he’s also unsure of me but kept contacting me. What is going on inside the head of his… I’m just so frustrating. I really appreciate anyone for reading all of this. Feel free to ask further questions.
