I actually asked this of my ex husband when I started feeling claustrophobic in my marriage. Looking back, I could see that I was becoming a third wheel in my marriage (mistress being work) so I wanted to see him on my terms instead of his. So moving out meant no expectations. I see where he’s coming from- he needs space to decompress and evaluate but still both you and his freedom. I’d take this as an opportunity to live alone and- decorate your house as YOU want. Make friends on the Meetup app, eat junk food and listen to True Crime on a Friday night, have date night with him one day in the week and spend Saturday night as his place, etc. If this dynamic ends your relationship, then he was never really yours to begin with
