Should I turn back?

Hello
Over a year ago, I met a wonderful man...I thought.
I live in Costa Rica...originally from Canada...and was working as a massage therapist at some high end hotels in Costa Rica. We met and he fell....into love he says. I moved to Costa Rica 7 years ago, to transform my life to a more spiritual environment for my growth. He moved in with me...and things went weird..I was not making enough money to support myself very well ..so I implemented the bartering system into my life...This was not up to
his standards...He introduced me to the luxury yacht business and I put my resume together and applied for various positions...He is a chef...I finally landed a very good job in the Bahamas and that's where I am now..working and living on a private yacht..He is still in our place in Costa Rica ...waiting for work as well. He is questioning our relationship ....telling me that he will not continue it if I am working away...full time...he wants it only to be short term....for his own needs ...I suppose.
I do not understand...because he encouraged me to the yachting industry...and did not like my way of life in Costa Rica either..now that I am able to finally go forward in my life...and make some plans for myself and my 13 year old son...he all of a sudden is becoming selfish....knowing that my life as been difficult for 7 years...and knowing my past...now he wants to drag me back...for he is only missing me...
I need some time to get on my feet...perhaps a couple of years....and he is not willing to wait that long
What do you suggest
Warm regards
