Hello Mary, He is not going anywhere.

See I am a Man, and I am telling you from a male perspective.
He said let us take a break from this all, and give time to ourselves.
So do that, you actually need that. See 5 romantic films in 1 week.
And meet him after 1 week, and discuss these films and other work related stuff.
Don’t talk about relationship. You both have already talked a lot about relationships already.
Talk about fun stuff, and laugh together.
See that will actually give you happy memories and will strengthen the bond between you two.
Everything is normal. Just give time some time.
