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

We've been together since January, known each other since elementary school. My boyfriend wants to take a break - not because of anything that is wrong in our relationship, but more for personal self development. He just moved to the city I live in out of his parents house and wants to know that he can hold his own not that he is independent. He has also been a bit introverted so I assume he wants to make new friends as well.

In all honesty, I don't want a break. He claims he doesn't want to break up and that he just needs some time alone. He claims that I make him lazy and he needs to be alone so he can work on himself. I don't believe in breaks - either you're with someone or you're not. He refuses to talk about it and I'm frustrated because I know after two weeks I'll be accustomed to not talking to him and I'll be fine being single.

Anyway, I'm not sure what to do with this. We're both introverts so I get the idea of wanting alone time, but I don't think this is fair to the relationship. I feel like there is a better way for his needs to be met without a break. Thoughts? Advice?
