My boyfriend of 3 years recently broke up with me. He said we argue too much, and he couldn't take it anymore. I continued to try and give him reasons to hold on and fight for us, but he continued to insist on being friends. I agreed because I would rather have him in my life somehow than not at all.

He told me he loves me, still cares about me, and wants to see if we can slowly work things out by this being "friends" thing. We do still talk everyday as well.

Today out of no where, he told me I'm a dumb b!Tch for still wanting to be with him and trying to hold on to what can't be fixed. I did nothing disrespectful to him, and he continued to yell at me saying "why the F do you wanna be with an asshole like me? What do you see in me? This shit isn't gonna work out." 

I feel stupid because he knows he "got it like that" with me, and that no matter what he says I would still want to be with him. 

I'm just confused because I thought the whole point of us being friends was to work things out. Shouldn't he be happy that I'm willing to stick things out as friends for the sake of us MAYBE getting back together? I just don't understand his hot and cold behavior. If he really loved me why would he have said anything like that anyways?

Do I continue to hold on and cooperate with him wanting to be friends to eventually work things out one day? Is love putting up with this type of behavior? Is him being an asshole his way of trying to force me

My bf broke up with me because we fight all the time, and we still talk everyday. He still wants to be friends, but now he's telling me I'm a dumb bitch for not wanting to be friends for no reason. Where
