Taking a break????

My boyfriend & I have been together for over a year now, & last night we got into a huge fight.. & I said that if he didn't meet up with me we would be broken up.. And we didn't meet. So this morning I woke up assuming things would pass over & it was just one of those fights we he but it wasn't.. & Now he wants to take a break for real & I don't know what to do. I need him. Usually taking a break ends bad?? What should I do
