Break Up & Divorce

Should I send this ‘all or nothing’ message to my unsure boyfriend?

I 27(F) have been with my 27(M) boyfriend for 2 years. I had an extremely traumatic upbringing broken family people in & out and he had normal family good upbringing. We practically were living together (in a house he rents from his mom) for a year. He's never had a girlfriend before & is extremely inexperienced so long story short it got the best of us. We were fighting a lot & he believes couples should never fight (he doesn't understand women have hormones either). He could never let go of a small argument he would drag it out for weeks & we kept fighting over the same things that wouldn't get resolved. I am ready for marriage & children. Even though I think he's ready, he wants to wait til 30's he is holding onto his youth (still goes to parents for dinner every night). We took a break for a month in Oct & he came begging for me back. now he wants a break again. My grandma just passed away & I am going through a lot of hard stuff. So he has been spending a few hours with me after work to comfort me but he cuddles & acts like were still together but he said he's just trying to be there for me cause I'm going through a hard time he doesn't want to be together right now. It's made it very confusing for me so I removed all of my stuff from his house. I texted him this & this was the response. I really think he just needs a push somehow to take the leap into becoming a real adult. Should I remain silent or respond with this:



For me, it needs to be all or nothing because I can’t keep having people in and out of my life. I need someone who can love me completely and fully, through the good and the bad. It hurts too much for me to stay in a relationship where I don’t feel fully loved and secure. I need stability. I want a home and a family, and I wanted that with you. But I don’t think you’re ready for that right now, and unfortunately I can’t keep waiting for something you’re not ready to give me. I care about you deeply, but I have to choose what I need for myself.

What I originally sent:

I’ll need to plan a day to get my vanity, so if you can pack up anything I may have missed that would be great. Thank you for everything. I hope you find what you’re looking for and I wish you nothing but the best.

His response:

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing u know. I know things are pretty tough for you and I do want to be there to help you where I can. If that just makes things worse then I guess I understand but I just don’t want you to feel like you are alone to deal with everything. Despite everything that’s happened and where we stand with everything I do still care a lot about you and want you to be happy and to not constantly be stressed about every aspect of life
