I don't understand how you've been with him for six years and don't know what was going on but you are asking a bunch of strangers what he was thinking.
I'd just ask him. You have to communicate with him. Six years is a long time.
There could be a number of reasons that he needs time off, many of which might have nothing to do with you.
But if you want to help him and help your relationship you've got to get him to open up.

Sometimes moving in together puts a strain on the relationship that was unforeseeable. You could spend years with someone, and you could spend weeks at their place but when you finally have to call your space someone else's space, you start thinking a different way. You start reconsidering some feelings, and you might even start to resent the person your with and you don't know why...
I think the best remedy is to communicate, talk, but that is also difficult because he asked for space. Maybe you could try to bring that you do want to talk about things, openly and without limitations... at least once and then you'll go back to giving him all the space he needs.
