I decides to talk to him and he stated that he is not ready for a relationship and he asked for a break. Since he’s at a camp where there is no phone use for 2 weeks, we’re taking a break then. We decided that we’d still be exclusive and not date around. I think it will do us a lot of good, and if it doesn’t work out then that is fine. Another thing that I wanted to say is that his ex is gonna be at the camp and when we talked about it, he really didn’t want to say anything and just said it was painful, so my guess is that he’s still dealing with the heartbreak from his last relationship and he might have not fully moved on which hurts but I guess it’s for the best. I want this to work but I am gonna work on myself and although it hurts now, I’ll be fine, I’ll update in two weeks. Our relationship is 5 months, and although it doesn’t seem long, that’s really long for me since it’s my first relationship, I’d just hate for this to end badly because it takes a while for me to open up. I’m a way this will also be good for me because if I figure out that I’m good without him, I’m not going back.
He wants to take a break cause he’s not ready for a relationship?

I understand you are new to the dating world. But love I’m going to say this right here, the idea of him committing to being exclusive but not in a relationship doesn’t make any sense because in that context he would still have to put fourth the same energy/loyalty towards the situation. Usually when a man asks for a break , it’s because he is most likely not going to stay loyal to you and wants to break up so he feels less guilty doing whatever he is going to go do. He openly admitted “exclusive” is a less important term than “official” .
You stated this really clearly. Is there a question?
I guess I just wanted to let out my feelings, and didn’t notice I already answered my question
