My impression was that he meant time away from you, but I don't take it as a bad thing. Obviously, he wanted to see you and talk to you, and well, dammit, he loves you!
Can you muster up the strength to say, "do what you need to do?" As in no pressure? And let him have his 30 days?
He is so torn/broken right now...A little space/time just BEING with himself might be good.
