It's not what you want to hear, but 'needing space' or 'taking a break' is a euphemism for breaking up. It doesn't matter if you are satisfied with this relationship, he is not. By not being straightforward about breaking up, he doesn't hurt your feelings so quickly or come across as the bad guy. But he's also confusing you and you're hoping to fix a relationship that he no longer wants to be in.
Consider this to be a break up, stop contact with him and focus on other priorities in your life.
It is likely you're the only one in the relationship who thought things were going well, it is likely you only thought of how things were going for you. Most people appreciate honesty. It is likely that if you admit you may be egocentric, first to yourself then to your love interest, you may find he's willing to work with you.
