Are breaks ok? or do they doom relationships?

Like a day break or so? I try to tell him my feelings, even if they're for petty reasons, they're still my feelings, and it still effects me mentally. But he blames basically everything on me. Example. He plays video games a lot, which is no problem. I play games too. But I make time for him. So I told him it upset me that he plays them so much, and he stays up way later playing them, then he ever wzould spending time with me. (9-10Pm for spending time with me, 12-1 am playing his games) When I say anything he's like "Oh but I gotta work, I can't give a lot of attention to you because I gotta get rest for work, once you have a job you'll understand" It would be one thing if he didn't stay up so late on work nights playing games. Idk maybe I'm overreacting. I just want a break for a day or so to get rid of all my anger and stuff from dealing him making me feel like the things im sad and upset for don't matter. (sorry wrong group, meant to put in adult relationships, too lazy tho)
