Is it a breakup or an explanation? should i wait before making any conclusion?

"I can not continue like this, I wanted to give myself the courage to do the best for YOU, but for me too. I have too much trouble in my life and I can not pull you down due to that I feel bad. it is unfair to you."

My boyfriend sent me this after he's been ignoring me for a while. Its not the first time, I think he is depressed he'd ignore me and come back as if nothing happened. We've also talked about it once and he said he doesnt like to involve people he cares about, that he'd ignore them and come back as if nothing had happen. All I know is that he is depressed and he once told me that he is afraid of being hurt again, he was with his ex for 3yrs and she broke his heart, i think he isnt over it yet. it was just some months ago, could this be the reason why he acts this ways? cuz he is scared of getting hurt?.I'm just worried about the text he sent, can't figure out if its a breakup or not and I dont want to bother him. Maybe giving him space will help?. He doesnt want to talk and I've been sending text msg and calling multiples times. I called on wednesday and he sent that message. I guess he noticed that his silence is freaking me out. I sent him a msg saying " I havent forgotten you! I'll wait. I'm not going anywhere" but got no reply

 

I noticed I'm the only one he is ignoring, well I think so, he seems to be social online posting pictures on instagram and online on facebook. I just dont know what to think. I love him and whenever we meet he is so sweet and caring. I just dont know what is up with him. we havent seen each other for a month, we chat sometimes in those period but he has been really distant in between. I want to help but he wont let me. he just ignores me completely

He probably is still hung up on her and depressed. He's better able to deal with things in the abstract, just looking, like with the Instagram etc. than with a real relationship at this time. That may be all that's going on, but you also can't discount the possibility that these issues he's exhibiting might be just how he is and might be the very reason his last relationship broke up as well. He might just not be together enough to have relationships.
