<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

So my current boyfriend and I have been dating for about a year and a half, both go to the same college in the US.  Everything was going smoothly and uphill and amazingly until the summer before he left for his first abroad semester.  I've got a pretty gnarly/messed up past and I have had to go through a lot of therapy to learn to trust people again, and he is my first bf since my life took a serious turn in high school.  But basically before he left, I had a break down and he was completely unsupportive, which crushed me, which I also told him at a later date, and he was also pretty indifferent about.  With everything else he is just the happiest and most amazing guy, but I honestly would give all that up if he could be compassionate about this event (unexpected death).  Well this sort of rough water was relaxed by the fact we were apart for almost 6 months, but now we are in Italy together, living right next door to each other and now I find myself questioning.  And on top of that, stress makes him mean, and right now he wants to nothing more than to get the fuck out of Italy.  The constant negative energy is starting taking a tole me.  I have been thinking about talking to him about taking a break, but every time I bring up our relationship, he turns into an angel for about 48 hours.  Rinse and repeat.  Not sure if I want out (or a break) now or if I should wait out the summer until we are back in the States at school.
