Breakup to Makeup? I want him back.?

My boyfriend and I had a short(6mo) very powerful relationship. He's the only person I've ever met that I saw myself with forever. He said the same. But life got hard...and he has been dealing with depression/jobs/etc. I lost my job, and everything just got to be too much. We fought a lot there at the end. He was trying to make up but I was just too angry and acted very aggressively and defensively. I regret that now. In a fit of anger he broke up with me (he's done this before, but always comes back). This time, I let him. Mostly because I just didn't want to see him that upset. I just said, "ok". He cried ALOT on my shoulder. I told him I loved him forever, he said the same. I asked if there was hope for the future, he said yes. And that he didn't know why he hadn't treated me like I deserved (he lost his temper alot). Then we kissed and just kinda sat there and joked. Then I finally got up, he was trying to say something,but I told him I had to go or I never would. I called him a few days after. He send me some joke text..but his family was in town, so I left him alone. He also moved out of his apt the day we broke up. He hasn't found a new one, and is crashing on a friend's couch(very stressful). I've been real sad, but doing ok. He texted me 5 days after the breakup saying, " I miss you a lot hope you are well" I replied "you too are missed, hope you are having fun with your family." Honestly, I want him back. I was smothering him before. I see everything I did wrong. Hopefully he has had time to examine his wrongs as well. I really really love this person and believe we are meant to be. Most people suggest NO contact ....I mean, I have life stuff to get in order, him too. But any advice? I was thinking of reaching out to him with a light text in a few days. TThankyou

Update:

Also, neither of us has changed our relationship status via fb and are still technically together. He still has my picture up as his fb background. It's been one week since the breakup.

    It's too soon. Obviously, things aren't working the way they are and a week doesn't change anything. Of course you miss each other, but running right back to each other won't solve anything. It sounds like you are both going through your own problems and should sort them out before you try and figure out the issues between you two. If you can't sort out your own life, how can you be expected function properly with someone else? Me and my ex were together 3 years before that became a problem, and we just started talking again now, 2 years later, which is amazing because we both have changed. No one changes in a week, the problems you had will still be problems, whether it's 3 weeks from now or 3 years.

    I don't recommend it. If he lost his temper often, it may be best that he is gone. I hate to say it, but it sounds like he needs to sort his life out first. I know that isn't what you would like to hear, but I'm afraid it seems like the truth. Maybe once you two are a little more put together. Good relationships take hard work and dedication, and you two both need enough time and energy for that first. Best wishes!
