I don’t think it would be a good idea to cut off for a week. A week is a long time to get bigger doubts and have mis-communication build up. It would be the last thing you want in this relationship. I know it’s going tough right now,but I suggest that you continue talking to him and reach out to a common consensus. It’s pretty complex and so all I can say is to give it some more time. What has to happen will happen, you can’t stop or change it. Just go with the flow.
