fabulous1423 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I feel like i need a break but its wierd because i dont want to break up i just want some time to find myself. if that makes sense i feel like i am not my self and i get irritable very quickly with my partner now. and instead of involving my partner i feel like i should stay away. i feel confused and dont know what to do any suggestions anyone??
BellaKlein Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Do whatever you feel is right for you. If that means taking a break from your relationship so that you can focus on yourself then do so. Let your partner know how you feel and that this is something that you want to do to be a better partner for him and most importantly better person for yourself. Good luck!
thelovingkind Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Firstly, you need to involve your partner in this decision. Just making yourself absent from their life for a while without explanation is a recipe for a destructive, hurtful mess. Secondly, when you approach them I wouldn't phrase it as "I need a break from this relationship". Say something more along the lines of, "I love what we have, I just want to make more space for my own time so that I have more to offer this relationship."

Chi townD Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Taking a break = breaking up. Don't use the " We need to take a break for a little while." Don't give your partner false hope. If you're gonna let 'em go, then let 'em go. And PLEASE don't use the excuse that you "need to find yourself" That's just kinda stupid. If you need to find yourself then stand in front of a mirror and look into it. THERE YA ARE!!
flitzanu Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 taking a break = i want to sleep with other people but keep you around for when i'm done. sorry...but that's usually what it means.
sunshine103 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Taking a break means I don't really want to be with you and I want to "explore new friends" to see what is out there. Maybe you will be still around if my "friends" don't work out. There you go straight out!
