Very confused by my current situation. Would like to see if anyone here can offer some clarity. Here is the only real red flag I saw throughout the relationship: myself F26 and him M22(!) Have dated for three months and been in a relationship for the past two months.

He first asked me to be in a relationship, I agreed. He said I love you first (possibly another red flag). Told me I am the only girl he's ever said that to. He talked about how he can see our future together (I never brought up the future, marriage, kids etc).

I was typical RPW loving, caring but not as a mother. I am slightly jealous individual and suffer with anxiety. After becoming jealous about his female friend I did ask for a lot of reassurance and eventually he told me he purposefully got mutual friend to send a video of him and her chatting to me to make me jealous. So it wasn't unfounded on my end, however I still apologised for my jealousy. This is the only real problem we have had during this time.

He seemed completely happy in the relationship (my love language is not gifts but he bought me a few nice gifts), took me on thoughtful dates (outdoor cinema, camping, beach walks - things I like).

One day we were completely fine, the next day he messaged me (immature) out of the blue saying he was confused about our relationship and doesn't know what he wants. He broke up with me, over messages. I asked him to come and see me to explain it to me properly in person as I was very shocked. His first reason was that he thinks I want to get married within a couple of years and have children and he wants to wait at least 5 years. Again I have never mentioned anything about this. After questioning this a bit he said also he is unhappy and wants to be alone as he has "never been single". (He was in a 5 yr relationship which ended maybe 3 months before we met).

He then said he is unhappy, not because of me and said that none of it is to do with my behaviour mentioned before, he said he loves me and he's doing this because he loves me and doesn't want to ruin my life in the future. He says he doesn't want to hurt me. He said he is an indecisive person. He said he is a no one. He said "I am unstable". I've never heard him say anything like these things before. This was the day before yesterday and I am still in shock as we had a very close and great relationship and I was very happy.

Can anyone give me any insight to this. Do you think he is telling the truth, he kept kind of changing his mind of the reason for the break up. I understand he is younger and all he said about the future is fine. I just want to know if it is true or not.
