He asked for a break, but writes me every day

I honestly think he doesn't know what he wants..., really loves me and misses me, but doesn't know how he's supposed to act... It's very confusing for me because I'm aware that even if we had problems, ultimately I want to fix them because I love him and want our relationship to work. He on the other hands, is 25, a bit immature, and somewhat self involved... He's not a mean spirited person by any means... he's just never really had any solid base in life... Throughout his childhood he would move from state to state, change schools, move countries, his mother would leave for years then come back... I feel like he never learned what it was to have a commited relationship of any sort... I think his defense mechanism is to not show that he feels any sort of hurt, if that makes any sense... it's tough for me because I know I should "man up" and make him value me, and give myself my space, but I'm also scared that I'll lose him forever.. love is very tricky and makes us do stupid things...
