<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

My bf (23m) and I (23f) have been together for about a year and a half. Last night we had a deep talk and he basically told me that he wants to change himself and our relationship for the better. He wrote me a really sweet long letter and it was genuine, he's never done that before. Right after I told him that I wanted to take time apart to know ourselves and to gain back the respect we lost for each other. We had gotten to a point where we spent too much time together and had no respect , we had terrible fights. I def want to fix things and he told me he would do anything to be with me. 

I told him that I wanted to not talk or see each other until Valentine's Day and maybe talk on the 13th so we know where to meet. He didn't exactly seemed thrilled about doing it but I told him I needed time and he agreed. Today he hasn't attempted to talk to me at all just like we agreed. Half of me is scared he isn't going to be there when we get back which I know In that case he's prob not right if he can't stick around for 9 days. Do you think it's immature to handle things this way? I want to treat him right and missing him and enjoying myself for a week or so is the only thing I can think of to help the situation. I'm hoping he misses me and comes back knowing exactly what he wants (even if he realizes I'm not the one). I'm scared but I think a healthy relationship with him is worth risking everything for bc I do love him. Have you ever been through anything like this before? Thoughts?
<bot>: I told my bf I needed some space to heal our relationship and focus on me so we can come back stronger. We plan to talk on feb 13, what do you think about this?
