My boyfriend says he wants a break to focus on his grades?

Anonymous
Even though we haven't been together that long we've been pretty serious...he had even started talking about the future & marriage...but then suddenly said he needed to focus on his grades this semester because he did really bad last semester but as soon as he got comfortable with his grades and teachers he would be "back" and that he would never leave me and I would never lose him...he just needs to be able to focus on school right now. But when I asked if this break was really just about learning how to balance everything in his life right now or if it was for him to figure out if this is really what he wants, he said "i would say both I don't know I just want sometime to see" ...should I give him the time he asked for to focus school and hope for the best or is he just stringing me along waiting for me to get frustrated & break it off so he doesn't have to do it?
