Confused by Aquarius man

I am a Pisces woman, currently very confused. An Aquarian I met 7 years ago sought me out 2 months ago and asked me out. That first date lead to a month of spending 5 out of 7 days together, as well as the holidays with each of our families together. He was going through a divorce which was final this month, so I kept telling him that we needed to take things very slowly because divorce is something that takes a lot out of people and most need a time to heal before getting into another relationship. Well, he told me we could take things slowly, that he wasn't going anywhere, and the week of xmas he told me several times that he loved me, that he wanted me to move in, he wished that I was the one he had married and told me about his hopes for our future life together. Then a week later, the week his divorce was final, he texted me and said that he didn't have fireworks, that I was wonderful and would like to be friends...he totally did a 360. I responded to his text and told him that I thought we had a great foundation for a genuine loving relationship that others just hope to find in their lifetimes. I don't believe the fireworks comment because I know he had told me he had them the month before. What I believe is that he was rushing too quickly and it scared him, so he wanted to retreat back to the friend category. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard from him. I figured with the stress of his divorce, I should just give him the space to get through his emotional issues and when he is ready he can contact me. However, his birthday was this weekend, I didn't want him to think I forgot, so I made him his favorite cake and left it at his door, but other than that, I figure he knows what kind of person I am and knows how to contact me. I wonder if I am doing the right thing by giving him the space and not confronting him to discuss it.
