Breaks are never easy and this situation is real mess up. I guess you do have to respect what he may be going through and maybe he does just need time to be alone. Did he hint that maybe ya can get back together in the future? Or is he really lost in the clouds?

I know breaks suck but they are good for couple. It gives you time to grow and get to re-know yourself. This is the time you go back to hobby or things you like to do. You take this time to grow. From personal experiences and couples I know that ones that respect a break when back together was stronger than before.
