So I (21 f) and my ex (23m) have known each other for more than a year, we recently got into a relationship which was going well for 2-3 months, then he said he needs a break because his family was pressuring him to get serious about his career and for that he needed to crack test for which he needed to study a lot because of which he'll spend less spend time with me, which will be unfair to me according to him so he asked for a friend and we were on a break

He did said we'll stay as friends and we'll talk once in a while to not break our connection which was fine by me, we talked for couple of days, then he stopped replying, he would reply once in a blue moon and when I asked him, he said "I dont wanna give you hope" and that made me think what hope? Hope that we're in relationship or hope that we'll get back together soon but I still texted him that I don't have any hopes and to text me but he went back to not replying and ignoring.

My mental health was not going good because of it because I was confused by his actions so few days back I texted him that my mental health is deteriorating and since I shouldn't have no hope, I'll have no hope and block him for good. He didn't like the decision and still to connect and communicate with me. He said this is not how he wants it to be but I still blocked him.

Now I feel like I should contact him and communicate clearly with him
