what does it mean when he says he doesn't want to break up but he is not sure if he loves you anymore?

May be he wants to keep something that he loves from the relationship, but he feels like something has gone missing. Maybe he is afraid of losing stability, or an important friendship that also is an aspect of the relationship. It's also possible that he feels a lack of thrill that is just naturally fading away when romantic relationships grow to be more secure. But what's the case here, is hard to tell without knowing more about the situation. All I can guess is that he is missing something - which can be be something in the relationship, something from the partner or something within himself - but at the same time he is afraid of losing something.

If he says he doesn't want to break up but he isn't sure if he loves you anymore, then that is not fair. He doesn't want to break up because he doesn't want to feel alone or he is comforted by the presence of you. He loves the idea of having a partner and having love but his feelings are different. You deserve to be with someone that loves you and has those feelings, even if it's hard to leave someone you love. Do not blame yourself because sometimes feelings change without any reason and it is ok. Choose yourself.

He may need time to process how is he feeling towards you. He is unsure and does not want to lose you in the process in case he still has feelings towards you. Allow him the space to understand why is feeling that way and maybe he will love you again. If it does not work out, do not feel disheartened. He probably still cares for you but does not love you anymore. This is better because he will let you know how he feels once he processes his emotions and by giving him the space he needs, he can think about it and not be distracted by external things.

He clearly doesn't want a breakup. For him, relationship is not only about love but rather more about the time, effort, commitment that you've already build. He doesn't want a break up even though he's not sure if he love's you anymore because he doesn't want you gone. He also probably care about your feelings that you might get hurt during the break up. He may also don't like any drama and choose to stay in a relationship without even prioritizing his feelings. Or probably giving himself a chance to access the situation first and trying to figure out his true feelings towards you.

He is unsure of his feelings towards you and might not feel the same special bond as before but he is still attached and used to you. And maybe he even still cares for you. He probably needs more time to figure out a few things before he could decide whether to commit to you or to break up. Or maybe he is too attached and scared of breaking up and not having you around. Or maybe he doesn't want to hurt you with the break up and wants to continue building the relationship even when he can't feel the love for time being. He wants to wait it out and be sure if he wants to give up on the relationship or not

one thing I learned from my last relationships, is that if someone loves you they won't be having doubts, and they'll be sure about you. what he said is kinda selfish, he wants to have all the good stuff that comes with the relationship, the care, the love, support... but he isn't sure if he loves you back, I'd say move on and break up with him, why wait till he's sure about you? you should see your worth and know that you only deserve someone who knows that he loves you truly. Never settle girl!! it's gonna hurt a lot at first, but then you'll be happy because you didn't settle.

To me It means that further discussion should be had between the two of you, I would ask why he still wants to stay together if he is uncertain about his feelings about you. I feel as though there may be something he is going through in other areas of his life that have nothing to do with your relationship with him. Sometimes, we are hesitant to share with others how something is making us feel in fear of judgment or a lack of understanding from the other person. Unfortunately, not everyone is equipped with the same level of communication skills. I would ask if something is going on and assure him that you are his team-mate and will support him through whatever is going on.

This indicates that possibly he is confused about the relationship. Perhaps his expectations of what he wants, needs, or the desires in the relationship are not being fulfilled? It also can indicate perhaps that he wants 'out' if the relationship because of ANOTHER person in his life or just wants to be alone and focus on something else, like school and other activities beneficial to himself and his well-being? Sometimes the physical vs mental expectations of a relationship can cause confusion as to which has the highest importance? Love also is a relative notion and can be looked at in many different ways
