Search Results: If you love something let it go

I’ve been talking to this guy from a dating app for a little over a month. We’re both PhD students in extremely demanding fields, which also makes things hard. Let me just jump into what’s been going on:

Pros:
-he asked for my number as soon as we matched
-asked me on a great first date (said he wanted to see me again after that)
-from the beginning texts me good morning pretty much every morning (except for a couple)
-texts me throughout the day
-acts supportive whenever I have a lot going on

Cons:
-I had to ask for date #2
-he’s updated his dating app maybe 2 days ago
-he’s also been busier for a few days (moving into a new place with his roommate). I asked him if something was up because he slowed down/stopped texting for a day or two but he apologized and went back to the usual texting
-As of right now because we’re both winding down the academic year, there’s no plan for #3 yet (#2 was a little over a week ago).

I will say, I updated my profile a couple weeks ago solely to have backups because I don’t want to get hurt. However, I think I’ve been clear that I’m really into him. I also overthink and I’ve been going back and forth with whether he’s into me or not (he could literally tell me he loves me and I still wouldn’t be sure, I’m an anxious person 💀)

Does it seem like he’s into me? And should I be worried that he updated his dating profile (like is this normal to do while you like someone or he’s probably slow fading/not very into me)? If I’m also wayyy overthinking, I’d also like to know. Thanks!

My boyfriend is going through something very personal
An addiction

Today he said that I can leave him if I can't handle it and that he doesn't deserve my love

He keeps saying he doesn't want to let me go but he thinks I deserve better
And that he loves me so much
And that Im the only girl he ever truly loved

We been together for nearly 3 years
And I've never seen him cry
Until today
When he said all those things to me.. he started crying so much

Does that mean he truly does love me?

I'm not really sad anymore about the breakup, i reflect on the relationship and i can see some things that i didn't see when i was with him. I've wrote thank you and forgiving letters to myself about what he did. I've done a lot of grieving and self work on myself and learned a lot. We were only together for half a year. The breakup in a way was blindsided because i thought we could work on it but at the end he was an asshole. he asked me a question before if we were to take a break and told me were not taking a break or breaking up just to break up with me a few days later. I've come to notice talking to someone else and potentially having a relationship my walls are up and emotions are like frozen. I get excited about the new guy but then its like back to feeling nothing sometimes.

In the beginning he told me he wants to be there for me and be apart of my mess and we will get through anything just to have him breakup with me. Not work on something which ultimately would have more issues down the road so its good we broke up but i thought we could work on it if we really "loved each other". Addiction got the best of him and blindsided me in a way.
