<human>: My ex just broke up with me kind of out of the blue. We've been spending a lot of time together and everything seemed like it was going great, I've been sleeping over about 4-5 nights a week. He's an entrepreneur and might have to move out of the country for a few months and I've always understood that his work came first. Months ago we had the talk and I told him that I had doubts that we would last. After that talk everything was great until today when he broke up with me. I have never cried in front of him and finally did. He soon started sobbing after seeing me cry and I was a bit confused. He told me he cared for me a lot but didn't want me to resent him because he can't give me the things I deserve. He kept insisting that he thinks I am really a good person and that he doesn't deserve me. He thought that he couldn't be a good boyfriend to me and thinks it would be better for us long term. He also kept using "we" reminding me of our last conversation about our doubts. I actually grew more hopeful than doubtful. He said he didn't know if he was making a mistake. He has never been big on talking about his feelings and he isn't the type of man to cry so when we cried we were both very surprised. He mentioned he wanted to remain friends as well and thinks he's an asshole.

My question 

1) why did he cry? 
2) is there a chance I can get him back. How? 
3) do men regret their breakups?

Thank you so much for reading, I am honestly heartbroken and want him back but with dignity. I am not going to beg. I just need some guidance.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: he broke up with me but cried and gave me bs reasons. Why did he cry? And what are the chances of him regretting and wanting to get back together?
