<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

The basic issue I'm having is that my bf is saying he needs space. What this means is he doesn't want to spend all of his days off with me. I can understand that we don't have to spend ALL the time together, but for me what he seems to want or is okay with is not enough for me.

We had spent a lot of time together recently because I had time off from work and this brought up the issue he was having about not having "alone time". I get that, but I also told him this was temporary, as I don't often have this amount of free time so I thought we should take advantage of it. It's not like I expect him to give up his free time ALL the time. Anyway, he said he wanted space and to not spend this next week or two together. I said fine.

I just don't know if I can handle the amount of time not spent together. I'd like to see him at least once a week or potentially more, but I am sure that if I left it up to him we could easily go 2 weeks without seeing each other. I hate lying to my friends and family saying he is "working" instead of telling them the truth that he doesn't want to spend time together. It makes me feel like shit. I know I need to talk to him, but I worry he'll just go back to the argument that he needs this time to himself. Maybe we are just incompatible...but I also don't want to just use the threat of us breaking up as a way to force us to spend time together.
<bot>: Boyfriend needs space, we barely spend once a week together, that's not enough for me. Not sure if I should just stick it out or be firm that this may be a dealbreaker.
