Me 24f with boyfriend 25m, on a week break

I have been doing that and am glad to hear I'm doing the right thing. The thing is that if this is what its going to be like from now on- not knowing whats going on, empty promises, unresponded texts then I'm out, itll hurt but i know i need a partner and although space is important ignoring me for two days straight without a word isn't space its rude. But he specifically said he needed this space he said it would be low contact and he needed time so if its just a matter of this week he isn't responding as much and hasn't call when he says he would because he needs his own time to relax and blow of steam with his mates i get it but i wish he would just say "hey i know i said id call but i need a few days to myself will call when I can" i would be fine with that no worries. I don't think he is meaning to string me along i think he is just taking the time he needs but it definitely feels that way like he is out having fun and doing his own thing and when he is ready, then he will give me the gift of response. its only been two days sure, but this whole thing was about communicating our needs and i feel like mine are just sitting there.

I guess when i talk to him ill find out whats what and ill have to decide what to do but if he keeps going NC without a word for too long i think ill have to end it because this doesn't feel like he is caring about my feelings when I'm hurting too - does that make sense ? Probably not :( sorry for talking your ear off. he said he is sure he wants to try again, that I'm all he wants and there is no one else, he has said nice stuff but then this. And he promised he wouldnt ask me to try again if he was unsure because we have been best friends ten years and he wouldnt string me along like that if he hadnt had a real wake up call what he was losing by being scared. Gah
