I don't think you need to step back messaging and talking. I assume he knows what is about to happen and that he will have to live without you. He is an adult, so I think it is really his own job to prepare for that, not yours to prepare him. And he may well regret it after you are gone, if you didn't spend all the time possible together now.

I would say, let him decide. Let him be there to support you.

Yes he knows what is happening. I tell him that you know that I’m not great . He says yes I know but not yet , it’s not time yet 

He does support me , I think I’m trying to protect him from it all 

Thank you for your advice
