I did tell him I was just going to keep my distance for a while , but why not contact me for a whole 8 hours?

I told my boyfriend how my feelings were hurt about him leaving and not communicating. Which I have expressed to him before. So today he hasn’t texted me for a whole eight hours now. I don’t know if I should text him or let him text me and if he goes a whole day without texting me should I just end things?
