My Sweetheart Really Wants To Take A Break From Our Relationship

The college aged daughter of a friend of mine recently asked her mom, "My boyfriend wants to take a break, what does that mean?" Her daughter was puzzled, heartbroken and a little angry and was looking for advice.

If you're in the exact same situation here are several ideas than can help you through this 'limbo' and allow you to come out on the other side, intact.

The very first thing you've to face is the fact that 'a break' is often code for, "I do not think I want to be with you anymore, but I'm not really sure so I do not want to completely break up with you," which put another way suggests, "I'm a coward and a little selfish."

I know that might sound harsh, but basically when an individual says they want to take a break, it is all about them. Keeping their opportunities open. And that is selfish no matter how you try to justify it.

It is virtually impossible to take a break and work on fixing the problems in your relationship at the exact same time.

To fix the problems, there generally has to be some interaction between the two of you. That's why a break commonly isn't about fixing a relationship, but more about easing out of one.

It also generally means (but not always) that they're interested in someone new, but do not want to totally end it with you until they're positive the 'new thing' works out.

If you're boyfriend says he wants to take a break do yourself a favor, don't cling. Do not beg him to tell you what's wrong or try to fix it. Whatever is going on, he's shown you that he demands time and space to figure it out. Give him space, but do not put your life on hold even when he makes up his mind.

It's extremely important that you keep living your life. Venture out with friends, go to movies, shopping or whatever you enjoy doing.

You can also use the break as a chance to determine what you want. Do you want to stay in the relationship at all? Is it, and he, seriously worth it? Now is the time for some completely honest soul searching. You might be surprised with some of the answers you come up with.

If he was getting fed up with the relationship there's a strong chance you were too, but just didn't want to face it. This time off could be just the time you need to choose where you should go from here, with or without him.

If the phrase "my boyfriend wants to take a break" have recently come out of your mouth just remember that there are two of you involved. Take this time to really live your life, don't mope around, and take some time to decide if you really desire to be with him after all.

Don't sit around and wait around for him to make up his mind even if he wants you. Just live. Yes, that also includes dating other people. But well before you do so, be sure you've got all your bases covered by searching: is he married, catch a player, and spot a player.
