Taking a break

Recently me and my boyfriend decided to take a break.. We have been together over a year and a half. He has some trust issues, I've never cheated or been unfaithful but he feels I do things not in the best interest of our relationship. Basically having guy friends. Which I have removed but I guess latley the past has been driving him nuts and little issues turn into bigger ones. Anyway he said he needed some space, two weeks to be exact. Its not to go party or find new girls he is the most loyal person I've ever met (I know it sounds naive) he just likes to be on his own. We've just been fighting so much latley and he wanted to see if we were better without eachother. Anyways, It's day three and I'm dying - every second It takes everything in my power not to call or text him. It's like I lost my best friend and my boyfriend. I'm trying to give him the space he needs. I love him so much and I want to give him what he needs right now but I also want to work this out and I know we need to communicate to do that. Anyways I've researched some things on the internet about positives and negatives that come from breaks... Anyone have some tips on how to handle this or experience ?
