M2ZND Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 My boyfriend and I have decided that we need to take a break. Should there be any contact during this time? Opinions please!
CrazyPanda Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 a break usually means that one of you needs time alone or seperation from one another. Sometimes in a relationship, two people become so close together that they kind of lose another part of their life. Space is sometimes a good thing, so just keep it at the minimum. I'm still new to this so I'm not sure if it's ok to call at night and just talk for a little bit or you should go and completely disconnect yourself from him. You might want to pick the right situation or someone more experiance can fill the answer to this one. Also from what I've read, when a relationship are on a break it usually means it is coming close to the end. A break is just one way of prolonging the envitiable. Sorry to say.
mspikes Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Breaks SUCK, unless you were the one who asked for it.... I should know... I'm going through one now... I've read a bunch of opinons on breaks and about 75% of folks I hear from say it's good.. and 25% say it's bad (but that's just because they're bitter themselves). Anywho, Although a break can be good for a relationship, I for one do not believe that you should COMPLETELY break contact. Just slow things down. But, even before so... I think that you and your mate should have a good talk about it... and why they want the break b4 doing it. And hey, think of it this way... if you can survive a "break", you two can survive just about anything. Also during this time, think back on your relationship and why you think your mate would want the break... I know mine had job issues, an ex issue, and a sibling going to college so, I'm trying my hardest to just ride it out. GOOD LUCK!
