10 points! calling the guys to help with advice!?

Me and my guy broke Up two weeks ago. During our relationship he got a DUI it was a very hard situation in the beginning. When it happened he was a mess. He thought he was going to lose his job etc because of this situation. I'm sure if you or have been in this situation you would think the same. Anyway, so during our relationship, I drove him everywhere because he obviously can't drive. I pretty much helped him a lot. My point is we are obviously not together anymore. Not because we had lost of interest, but because he needs to find himself. I guess I helped him so much that he didn't appreciate life. He told me that he needs to grow and better himself before we move any forward. I personally think it's true. I love this guy so much, I understand where he's coming from, and if that's what he wants, then so be it. We still talk and care for eachother I think if he didn't care or love Me he would have gotten rid of me for good! My point is how do I keep our love alive? I dont wanna bug him or smother him. I wanna give him his space. Can you guys help please! :) We've known eachother for 8years
