I wouldn’t wait more than 2 weeks to a month. My boyfriend once but i told him he had a couple weeks to figure things out cuz i wasn’t gonna wait around forever. After a weekend without me he said his weekends were boring without me and he missed me. And it helped us work out some issues in the relationship too. So breaks aren’t always bad. But idk about this situation though he work’s banking so his hours might still be crazy long hours a month from now.
