hamstaaar Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I've been with my boyfriend for just over a year and we recently started arguing and he said he wants a break... he said a week at the least. I don't know what to do and if this means he wants to break up and end everything. We were arguing about trust and that he didn't believe that I believed that he loved me. Do you think there is any chance in us getting back together?
dan_the_man Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Yes if they suggest a break, usually it means they want to break up.
Ilovecake Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Break is just a gentle/cowardly way of saying breakUP. It’s like saying I want to check and see if there is someone better out there but I want you to wait for me in case there isn’t so I can come back and not be alone. How is staying away for a week going to solve any of your problems? If he comes back in a week all those problems are still there. If a relationship is important and you want it to work you stick it out and work on it together. Edited June 17, 2010 by Ilovecake
StarrySkyBlue Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I don't know. I think a lot of people really need a 'break' to figure things out and not let their judgment be clouded by emotions. However, if someone wants a break -- it means they might or might not come back. I suggest that meanwhile you treat it as a breakup and try to move on. If he wants to come back, you can get back together again. If not, you've already got a head start in dealing with a real breakup.
AlwaysConflicted Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 My ex asked for a break. So I asked if her that meant we were breaking up and she said, "no, it's just some time apart." 3 days later she called me and said she wanted to be together. We got back together. Everything was fine for 2 more weeks. Then I did 1 thing to disappoint her and she actually broke up with me. If it didn't happen then, it probably would have happened a week later or a month later. So while a break might not necessarily mean a breakup...it means they are having SEVERE DOUBTS about you and it's most likely too late to fix. Sorry...I'm going through it right now.
