My boyfriend (26M) and I (24F) don’t have sex but we love each other. He wants to break up. What should I do?

My boyfriend (26M) wants to break up with me but wants us to keep going out together, watch movies, study together, workout together etc. I am his first girlfriend (24F) and, according to him, he never wanted to have a girlfriend before until we met.

We don’t have sex (I made another thread on it), and he thinks it’s been hard to maintain our relationship like that (which I agree). Even though we don’t have sex, I really do believe we love each other. I honestly think he’s my soulmate, and I’ll be devastating if we break up. This is not a normal behavior for me as I usually am the one who thinks I’ll find someone else in a couple of months, but in this case, I really like this guy and I don’t want to lose him.

We’ve considered to open our relationship, but he doesn’t like the idea of being in a relationship with me while I am going on dates with other guys, so it’s better if we just break up. The point is that he wants to keep acting like if we were still boyfriend and girlfriend, not like exes. I don’t know if he wants to do it because he thinks that way I’ll stay emotionally connected to him and will lower my chances of falling for someone else.

On the other hand, he doesn’t have social media, and no one knows that he’s in a relationship except his friends and family. He’ll start on a new job next week and I am afraid he’s just trying to avoid cheat on me now that he’ll be surrounded by new people, so that’s why he wants to break up (just being realistic here since we don’t have sex).

I don’t know if I should fight for this relationship, risk being cheated on, or just let him go and make him want to be with me again.

TL;DR: He wants to break up, have sex with other girls without feeling guilty, and prevent me from falling for another guy (possibly).

What do you guys think about this situation and what should I do? I understand most of you would say that I should just let him break up and move on, but if fight for this is the only thing I want, how should I do it?
