Aries man has a Virgo woman confused but inlove

I need advice, something from a neutral audience that still has experience and hopefully plenty of opinions, please. I'm a Virgo woman and was dating a wonderful Aries man for a little over a year. First couple of months were amazing. Slowly pressure build up of him to having to move out from his parents house with me and I probably pushed too hard. I know my mistakes I read enough about how to treat an Aries and I regret not reading it sooner. I've never cheated, lied, disrespected nor wanted to, believe neither has he. We were as best friends aside from the problem of my excessive criticism outbursts and him snapping at me when I do over money, moving out etc.

We separated and he cried more than me. He said he cares and loves me but the connection is missing, the spark. He though said the worst thing is to never see me again. I've been giving him space, after he said he wants to sort his head. Now he's made first contact recently and insists on us being friends. How could I? He means the world to me and the only thing I want to do is to be given a chance to be better.

I'm tired of hearing there's other fish in the sea from friends.. I don't want another. Just wondering if there's a chance I can get him back before he gets himself another girl...
