Some background; my boyfriend and I have been together for about 8 months in which we've had a pretty great relationship.We're both in school at the moment but spend most of our free time together. Of course throughout this time we've had our differences and arguments but always manage to work through it.

Anyway I just need some advice on an issue we can not agree on. He had a pretty big set back this past week which he is understandably upset about. I feel as though I've been supportive throughout this time in trying to help him get through it but now he says he wants to take two days to go away and think about things and not have any communication at all in that time. 

Although I understand the need for space and personal reflection I can't understand why he needs so long to do this. I work basically 8 hours a day everyday which means for the next two weeks (until school starts) he'll be alone at home all day, but he says it's not enough. Just for reference we don't live together but I stay at his place most nights, so we are together during almost all of our free time.

I just want another perspective on this, as I truly want to see where he is coming from. At the moment I'm just feeling unnecessary and unwanted. Once school starts we won't have as much freedom with our time, so I want to spend as much time together as we can now but he disagrees.

I really love him and know that he isn't trying to hurt me but I just can't see past the fact that he doesn't want to see or talk to me for two days.
