need a break?

on our one year i told him i needed a break. i have been telling him that i need more effort on his part for a while and it’ll happen for a couple day then go back to how it was. so i told him i want some time apart from him. i also feel like i rushed it with him. we spend almost everyday together and i think i just need to find myself again. and now that i have brought it up he is doing too much. he’s trying to give me affection and be touchy with me but i feel like it’s overwhelming me. idk what to do. i’m gonna get the time apart but im scared that im already mentally checked out but i also want to be with him bc i love him so much. i just can’t help feeling like i need to distant myself from him and just be alone.
