      The problem is:
      My boyfriend asked for space and to cool off from our relationship but I want to be there for him and he still contacts me. I (22F, PH) have been in a relationship with my boyfriend (21M, US) for a year. We have never been in serious and heavy fights, communication isn't a problem, and the only thing is, ldr kami and it's quite hard to travel to him and him to me. I'm in college and ayaw rin niyang isacrifice ko ang sleeping schedule ko para lang makapag hang out kami. But I do compromise. we plan dates, play online games and VR games so we can "see" each other.

A week ago, my bf asked me for space and cool off dahil ayaw raw niya ako hilain pababa due to his declining mental health and unaddressed pent up issues, he said doesn't want to hurt me. He said na he felt like I don't deserve how little he gives me and how he's been feeling emotionally disconnected with everything due to his MDD. He said he loves me so much but didn't want to tie me down with a label wand want me to explore while he works himself out I did tell him I don't want another man in my life, that I still wanted to fight for our love thus, we both came up with this path, a cool off.

And of course, I have been reassuring him, supporting him, comforting him and basically do my best to make him happy. I express my thoughts and he tells me his. He's been in contact with his doctors and is prescribed with new meds + therapy to help him.

 He still calls me, texts me and video calls me but don't initiate like I used to because he did ask for space and I'm giving him the freedom to choose whether or not he contacts me, and ofc, I'd always answer dahil marupok si ate niyo.

I know that he wouldn't cheat on me or look for somebody in our cool off phase. He did promise me that and he keeps his word.

I'm still quite scared that even if we're still in contact (his choice), he's losing feelings for me or he might not ever come back to me. (Yea, i feel like this is a selfish fear but what can I say, I really do love him so much). And just a day ago, I said 'I love you' and for the first time he didn't say it back. I may just be overthinking it or maybe I shouldn't have said it pero i'm honestly scared of completely losing him.

I just want him, and to be with him for better and for worse. What step should i take to save our relationship?
