<human>: My boyfriend and I just got together recently. I'm his first girlfriend and he's always told me that he would never want a relationship, mostly for his own personal reasons and general pessimism around the idea. By some type of miracle, I was able to convince him one lucky night to give it a try. I told him we would work through everything together, that I would never hurt him, that I would take care of him no matter what.

What followed after was the best time of my entire life. Neither of us had ever felt like that (I have been in relationships in the past) and it was blatantly obvious that we belonged together. He admitted that he had fallen in love with me and suspected that I may be "the one" and how happy he was that I had the courage to bring him into this and convince him it was a good idea. With him, I feel like I can breathe again, like I'm alive. He's everything to me and he's told me a million times I'm everything to him.

This morning, he suddenly told me that he wanted to end it. He has a very cynical view on love (that I thought I had eradicated) and basically told me all the things I had previously dispelled. I think he's most afraid of getting hurt or hurting me.

All I want to do is convince him that he's dead wrong. He's a very stubborn person but even he admitted that this would kill him, but he wants to do it "sooner rather than later." It's so ludicrous to me. We're madly in love with each other and anyone would be able to see it, but the potential of hurt is making him want to give it all up. Please help.. I feel like I'm going to die but I just can't find the right words to explain to him why that doesn't make any sense.

Right now I'm just waiting, not talking to him and hoping he'll feel how painful it is to be apart and come back to me, but I'm scared he really believes he's doing the right thing.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: boyfriend is scared of relationship for essentially no reason, how can I put an end to his fears and get him to go out on a ledge.
