Drop him or give him another chance?

Asking for your advice guys? (Thanks ahead of time for reading and responding! But Sorry for the long explanation)

Situation:

Bf works overseas on a contract and we only text 1-2 X a week.

He stated in his last message to me:

"we've forgotten what it feels like to not feel a constant heaviness in our hearts."
"I also find myself wishing to flaunt you, show you off to the world as my man. Peachy hopes, but an unreasonable reality."
"As harsh as reality has been, we have been harsher to each other. It's a repetitive cycle of inflicting pain over our mutual love for each other. But underneath the pain, there's a love so profound that it keeps me going."
"I desperately hope that I'll be back home this month and that we can finally close this chasm of distance between us."
"I love you, miss you. Everything will be sorted out soon. Be safe.

My Issues:

He doesn't answer a lot of my questions until I pester him to answer them.
His contract keeps getting extended and his phone coverage is terrible - so only texting works for us.
I feel like he is not telling me something. I have trusted him in the past but I got this bad feeling in my heart and stomach that there is "something" he is hiding.
I really need a man to be physically present, trustworthy, caring, and loving. He met all those things in the past, but not so much anymore in my humble opinion.
I have hinted on us taking a break until he gets back, but he fights it or just ignores the subject and so I give him another chance.
He is supposed to be back at the end of February 2025, but I have no proof.

My resolution:

Give him until the end of February to get back and if he does not get back, break up with him. I am tired of the stress this is causing me.
IF he does get back then stay with him and work on the relationship in person.
