"Breaks" in a relationship?

If he means that much to you, I would just give him the time and trust him, since he requested that time. You have nothing to loose except maybe a little bit of pride and the time you will waste thinking about him (but you said you'd be busy). I think that if this relationship is something you'll fight for and you believe he will also do that for you, you need to jump over your pride and do it. Relationships are hard work, but if it is the right person they are very worth the hard work. So if it doesn't end well, then that's unfortunate, but it would probably be the best for you since he wouldn't have made you happy anyway not willing to work on this. And if after two weeks, he comes back to you, then that's wonderful.

But if you think this has no future and you want to save yourself the stress, then just break up for good.
