<human>: My boyfriend, just broke up with me because he felt like he wasn't deserving of my love, the thing is, is that I know he still loves me and I'm confused as towards why he did this. We've had a long history, he had been after me for two years. We had a strong connection and I'm just puzzled, why would he want to throw it away like that? when we were still clearly in love. He always felt like I could do better than him and I would always respond by telling him that, that type of stuff did not matter because he made me happy. now he's texting me and he's saying that he wished we were still together, my response was the same but he still wants us to stay broken up? reddit please help

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
