my partner of 7 months (we’ve been the closest friends since we were kids) just told me he thinks we need to break up. he’s my best friend, and I’ve never loved anyone like this, or felt loved like this, he is my home and I’m scared I’ll never feel this way again. I’m so afraid of everything changing, he says it doesn’t have to, but it’s hard to believe. I’ve been so depressed and lost lately, I feel as if I keep losing things, and this just made it so much worse. I’m devastated. any advice or kind words would help

Try to talk it out 1-2 times. If it doesnt work, leave him alone gor a few days. Do not pester him as he is going to tun away super fast by it.

after a few days, initiate a conversation with him. Pour your heart out and tell him what he means to you. If its meant to be, it will be. But right now, you need to control and not be over his head to talk.

I agree with saggarwal06. I'm going through something similar as you are right now with my girlfriend.
I am lucky enough to be able to talk to her and she has given me the reasons as to why she wanted to break up, and now I have something to work towards to hopefully win her back.

I know life can be unfair, especially when you were at such a high. You were/are in love and it's a beautiful feeling. Hold on to that feeling and talk with him one or two times. Straight up ask him the reasons why is what I would advise. It helped me understand my partner's point of view better. But also know that they need their space for now, so don't message them non stop. 

Surround yourself with people you care about and know you can talk with people here.
