Dont call it "giving him space"
Giving him space in this instance would mean you are waiting for him to come back which he is not with what he said and the way he said it. Honestly a bit of a c*nt move what he said to you tbh that is really bad of him.
Instead you call it your chance to find yourself and explore the world. Go talk to some other guys (there is heaps out there) and your girlfriends. Forget this one for good.
It sounds like he is literally just trying to use you as a backup now and keep you at arms reach if he needs anything in-between girls. This is very toxic behaviour, i don't know if he is meaning to do this what I say but that is what will happen. I would be getting rid of this one for good, stay friends chat every now and then. He will miss you, fuck taking him back unless he puts in some true effort.

He is fucking with you and he doesn't like you. Wanting space and breaking up are two entirely different things .
You can be in a relationship and get your space. From my perspective it looks like he doesn't want space , he wants to try his luck with other girls and bang other girls and then if you are available he will get back with you.
No. What will help is stop thinking about him. I know it's hard but focus on yourself and healing from the break up. Work out, get a makeover, take a class, make some kind of positive change that will improve yourself, and when you're ready, get back in to the dating world. Once you're feeling confident again and have moved on, watch him try to come crawling back in to your life after that. I'm not kidding. It works every time, at least that's when exes have tried to come back to me.
I think he's just using you as a plan b. Like if he feels alone, he'll know that you'll be waiting for him. Cut him off. My advice will be, not to contact him anymore. He seems really toxic person.

You're idea that he will "realize what he is missing" is fairy tale shit. "Space" means he wants to be with other girls. Sounds like he was trying to let you down easy.
Heโs tryna break up with you to sleep or be with a new bitch trust me going on a break or needing space never fucking works
He will either miss you or forget about you and move on if he doesn't have real feelings towards you.
you do know when a guy says he needs space what he is really saying is he needs other girls right?
Happened to me once. We never came back together. Also happened to some friends of me and same result. So a โbreakโ means a break up in my experience
Stop hoping and move one.
This guy's not serious and is just playing with you and your feelings.
