forever_young Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Ok I need some opinions. Whats peoples thoughts on breaks. How long should be waited till contact is made. How long do they last. Does anyone think they work or have had them help a relationship. Anything. Any opinions will help good or bad... I need to know the reality of it. Sad and missing him Forever Young
_Saffy_ Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 i dont believe that breaks work at all.....and past experience has told me that they are only ever for one of a few reasons... 1) the other party is interested in someone else and wants to see where it goes 2) they want to break up with you and think that this will hurt you less 3) when the going gets tough.....the not so tough get going i believe that a relationship should be strong enough to get through anything, together. if there is a problem it should be dealt with together.......time apart only ever causes a rift. if either party needs to take a break.......then there is a bigger problem than they are letting on.
ostateclarett13 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 well, my opinion...there is no such thing as a break. It is a break-up. (atleast to girls it is) my girlfriend wanted to have a break, but she viewed it as a break up. I will say this, if you really want to work things out, and she says to just give her space...do it. do not pressure her into a decision. According to my ex, i pressured her. All i wanted to know was if there was still a chance for us to get back together. Because of me talking to her the other night about it, i pretty much pushed her into the decision. I wish it could have turned out otherwise, but to tell you the truth...with everything I went through during the time we were broken up, and agonizing over it because I didn't know if there was a chance or not, knowing that there will not be a chance actually makes me feel better. PS. if you are afraid to talk to people about something, write every single detail down about your relationship and how you feel, and how you felt. It makes a world of a difference. You would be suprized how much you can write down. But I do say this as a phrase of advice, Follow your heart.
LucreziaBorgia Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I guess the definition of a 'break' can mean different things to different people. It can mean all of the above, plus it can mean "I'm going to put you on the back burner while I go off and do my thing without your interference and I fully expect that you won't be with anyone else and will be waiting for me on the off chance that I might come back."
