Okay...this is what you do if you want to keep him. It is time to focus on other things. That does not mean you love him less. Start trying to read a book a week. Go into a private area away from him everyday for 1 1.5 hours or so. You will have more to talk to him about if you are reading. Also, a few times a week go out with your friends. You live together so you made a huge step. Do not mess it up by being all over him.
My boyfriend told me that I was overwhelming. He said that a while ago, years, but that still didn't stop me. HE eventually left me for someone who "doesn't complain about every little thing." That devistated my life! My first broken heart. Just pull back now. That does not mean you ignore him just do not initiate any cuddling or kisses. But do be receptive of his advantages.
He definitely needs space right now so just give it to him. I know it hurts, but do it for your relationship and baby :) feel free to message me if you have other questions or need to vent! Good luck :)

Did he say this as he was breaking up with you? It seems that he said love by a mistake. His feelings may not have grown into a true love for you. He changed it to like because he likes you but it seems you like him more.
If I had to guess, I would say that you show him too much attiention and you may revolve your life around him. Forgive me if I am wrong. It seems like he may feel overwhelmed by you. Are you clingy? Sometimes women easily become a bit of a smotherer without noticing. It seems like he does not want to hurt your feelings. I would suggest you pull back and let him contact you most of the time and move at his pace. You may be moving too fast. Hope that helps.
