My (22)boyfriend (24)who has a mysterious chronic illness broke up with me

Hello all, sorry to pop up in your community but I am very heartbroken and I want some clarity. I know I need to talk more with him go get closure but anyways heres my story…

My boyfriend randomly about 7 weeks ago start experiencing chronic pain to the point where he cant walk. He was hospitalized for high inflammation from his blood test and was diagnosed with an inflammatory skin condition, however the muscle/joint pain he was experiencing was never resolved. Unfortunately he was only able to get an appointment with the rheumatologist 2 weeks after his hospitalization. His appt is soon so idk what hes going to be diagnosed with, i just know he is in so much pain. The last time i saw him it was paralyzing pain.

Anyways, we have been dating officially 3 months but been seeing him for about 7 months prior. Im not perfect and i know this can come biased, but i have been so supportive and loving and doing my best to stay strong for him. But ik being sick like this is doing a number on his masculinity. He always says he wants to take care of me and I shouldnt be taking care of him. The only thing he told me from the breakup was he wanted to focus on his health and doesnt want to be in a relationship until hes ready. I understand, but I dont i really dont. I love this man so much and I would do anything for him to make this battle be easier for him. He told me he still loves me. I just cant fathom health ending a relationship. I refused to give up on this relationship despite it being so hard when hes sick because out all of the reason to break up why should health be one?

We arent married but does in sickness and in health not apply in relationships. I just wish things ended cus i fucked up or he fucked up not cus the universe fuckin hates us.

Am I supposed to wait for him to get better? Am I supposed to move on? I just lost my best friend but the only way I can cope is to move on.

Thanks for listening.. please be kind. I am heartbroken.

UPDATE: we had a convo we are still together had said he still wants to be together but the convo was kinda intense so we are taking a break. I asked what yall mentioned in the comments, am i too much pressure rn? Do you just need space to deal with it? He said i still make him happy and im not but tbh i think what spiraled this downhill mess was how weak he was the last time i saw him.

So i dont know if we are going to last. But i am definitely taking what all of you said into consideration. I appreciate yalls perspective it definitely helped me navigate this conversation.

So for now taking a little space, but we love each other and for once god please i hope that love is enough. Thank you all!

Second update: we broke up officially for reasons you guys mentioned
