ugh he wants time apart

He has been distant and today says

 "Maybe we should take time apart. I been stressed over this new crappy job. I'm gonna get a closer job where I'm actually happy and will have time for you"

I am on my period and so fucking emotional over it .

UPDATE:

I know breaks don't work,yesterday and today I told him we should end it and don't be with me if he can't accept my flaw. He didn't want to break up he said he wants to stay with me. Than today he says this.

I am like 10000% positive he changes to "lets take a break" so he can say he broke up with me and I didnt break up with him.

I don't even know why I am emotional,I am so over his shit and yet I cried.. fucckk I hate period emotions
