I miss my boyfriend. We are on our summer break from college, and our relationship has worsened almost since the beginning. He lost his mom weeks before it, and of course, I've been trying to support him and be there for him. However, I have noticed that he has been struggling with communication. I've asked him before if he needs space from me so I don't put pressure on him, and that I'd understand if that were the case, but he keeps promising things (like texting more often, calling, etc.) that he didn't follow through on in multiple conversations. My limit was almost a week without hearing from him, for no reason. I asked for a break in the relationship for 2 reasons. So he could have time for himself and to process without the relationship expectations, and 2, because it wasn't healthy for me to keep waiting all day, days, or a week to talk with him or to know what was going on in his life while trying to support him. We set a specific date to consider continuing the relationship
