Break from sex?

Okay so my boyfriend is wanting to take a break from sex for a couple of weeks because he says he's getting way too addicted or whatever and relying on sex to make him happy. I've never heard of this at all, like is it normal to just take a break from sex in a relationship? Also like I want to get closer to God so I want to use this time to do that but I'm wondering if I'll want to make it permanent until we at least get married? Idk I need advice haha I love getting dicked down good but I also understand where he's coming from :/
