What if I never see or hear from him again?

My boyfriend and I had a fight the other day. After he said we need time apart and he needs time to think about things, and that he feels it will be good for us. I sent him a reply back with how I feel. He said he really appreciates it. We have exchanged a few texts since our fight. I also asked him how long he felt was okay for time apart. He said just a few days. He said something about sex and how sexual I am. That I have sex on my mind 24/7. I told I don’t, of course. Then I replied something else about sex. He responded saying sex is a big deal to him. To which I responded, “I’m glad you told me that.”

Of course, I’m worried I’ll never see or hear from him again, and if I do, that it’ll be bad. We live in a small town, so I could run into him at some point. How long is a “few days”? I know I’m 42 years old and should be beyond this kind of thinking, but he’s a very special man to me and I haven’t had someone like him in a very long time. I think at any age it would really bother someone. Hurting doesn’t just affect one age group and relationship issues come up regardless. It’s easy to feel anxious. Yes, I know. Keep myself busy, go out and do things. It’s easier said than done and I just don’t feel like it.

Will he come back? Am I worrying for no reason? Will I ever see or hear from him again?
