Relationship crash

I have been with my boyfriend just over 2 years. We have had our ups and downs but are really in love with each other but this is now the 2nd major break up for us and he has said that he can't see things changing. (arguing) he said that he still loves me and is attreacted to me, but still he stuck to his guns and left rather upset.

I then recieved a text that evening saying that he was so sorry the way things worked out, I replied with a lovely text but with exceptance of it being over.
I have since spoken to a friend of his who says that he was in two minds when he said and is not sure he has done the right thing. His advice to me was to leave it for about 3-4 days as calling so near to the day it finished might not give him time to miss me. He also said that seeing as we both know him, that I should run once again as he is really suborn. This is hard for me as I am not 100% sure that he will want me back and as far as he is concerned he has ended it. Does anyone have any advice, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
