Break/space??

So I’m not going to get into why my bf wanted a break/ space. But he told me over Mother’s Day weekend he wasn’t happy anymore and wanted to take a break and figure things out. We have a daughter together and we obviously live together. When he told me this I was just ready to pack my stuff and go to my mom’s house then he tells me no why am I doing that? I told him if you want a break/space we can’t do this while living together. He was drinking all weekend and We had sex 2-3 times over this weekend and yesterday as well. He didn’t want me to leave because he said since my mom lives 30 minutes away from my work & daughter’s school it wasn’t a good idea. & he also doesn’t want to not see my daughter also which I understand. But then when he’s hugging me at night and cuddling he doesn’t have a problem so he said he wanted to go to the store and I said what time are we going and he said I do need space. I just said ok. Like am I missing something I feel like I’m getting mixed signals and this is why I wanted to leave so our space can actually give space even though I want our relationship to work out
