I did what your boyfreind is doing once the SPACE thing although i did love my boyfreind. He said same as you and i got a bedsit. week later i heard he was moving overrseas had a job to go to, i ran round and said i have had enough space please can i move away with you. i was so scared i had lost him forever and i loved him just needed a bit of space. i would say had i thought he was staying i may have stretched the space thing out more, only knew how much i wanted him by him been FIRM no messing about game playing.
Say what you mean and mean what you say then act onit, and if he does not come back when he thinks he has lost you then let him go and realise love was not strong...I hope he runs back like i did, it was soooooo romantic and we did go overseas for a while and never again will i ask for the space thing, just a couple of hours in another room does now. Good luck! hope its love.

If he texts you telling you he loves you then ask him if he is ready to get back together and commit to you.
If he says yes then hey presto. If he says no then tell him not to contact you again.
Good Luck!! xx

 This is difficult to judge. Everyone is different so every relationship you have will be different. So where a previous relationship that you might have had that wanted to take a "break" may not necessarily end in a "break-up". I suppose the suggestion would be that if you feel that this might be the different case, let the break from each other happen (but perhaps be prepared for this to be the end).
Best of luck!

 If he keeps texting you that he loves you don't ignore him. But make it perfectly clear that he needs to make up his mind. He can either be with you, or leave you alone. No in-between. If he decides he wants to do his own thing, then you can tell him to stop texting you until he knows what he wants. Sometimes... ignoring them a little will make them want you more. So it might be beneficial for you to ignore him and make him sweat a little bit.
