Short but sweet

We were only dating a little over a month and a half. I got broken up with because he says he needs to work on himself, by himself. Apparently being with me gave him so much peace, and the ability to be so vulnerable, that in turn, it made him realize that he has a lot of trauma that he’s not dealt with. That part makes sense. He’s cried to me about some of them a handful of times. Last night, after he made that decision, we held each other for hours, absolutely sobbing. He says he loves me, this is making him heartbroken, but he doesn’t want to drag me through the mud with him while he works on himself, he doesn’t think he can upkeep a relationship while dealing with his internal trauma, and it doesn’t help that he’s moving 8 hours away in 2 weeks. He doesn’t feel good enough for me right now. He said that he would like to revisit this after he’s healed but doesn’t know when that’ll be. Am I being selfish by asking him to reconsider, and that I just want to be there for him, even if that means that he can’t always be there for me in my times of need? I’ve done it by myself for so long now, I just don’t want to lose him.
