The most supportive would be to leave them alone. They are not in a place to be in a relationship with you at this time and it would be kind to let them deal with their pain. Rest assured they are in pain. Let them figure out how to get out of this funk and although it’s good to share information on attachment theory, that information is only really objective and useful if they seek it out themselves for their own healing.
I’m speaking as both a FA (sometimes DA) and sometimes AP.
It takes years to change these patterns, probably a decade all in. I would not sit around for two months waiting for them, because you could lose your life waiting for them. Don’t. It will help them heal better if you move on.

I only hope that he is consistent with his healing journey for his own sake, whatever happens in the future. That is 100% on him...he will do what he feels is best for him. I agree with Annie to leave him to work on his issues while you explore yours.
