It seems to me like you two have different affection styles that are incompatible. If you continue a relationship, at some point you would both want to be together more often, right? But if when you’re together, you fight a lot because you want attention and he wants space, then you are likely to just have the same problems when you move together again unless one of you changes. So the question you have to probably ask yourself is would you be happy in a relationship with someone who needs more space than you would like to have? And if you don’t think you would, it might be better to break things off while you’re separated. If, however, you think you could give him the space he needs when you do move back together without feeling unloved or anything, then it might be worth seeing how things go over Christmas. Although I might wait until after anyway if I were you because breakups during the holidays are absolutely horrible.
