Nah if you need a break to fix your relationship then it’s game over. People can use it as an excuse to see other people.
I felt like she was drifting away and when she asked for the break I knew it was over and moved on. She reached out a few months later but I had found someone else.
I’ve never known someone that went on a break and got back together so maybe that’ll happen for you, but I wouldn’t stay at home waiting and hoping for her to come back. You should be getting back out there.
Ive never seen this as being a good thing
Who suggested the break up? Why? Usually, it doesn’t work.
going on strong for 18 years now
Yes, around 3 weeks of a break. I was very clearly doing things wrong in the relationship. The break gave me more time to figure things out. We’re doing much better now.
It would be a rare relationship that could reconnect.
Anytime it was mentioned to me, I always said you can take a break forever. Don’t need anyone who’s uncertain in me. Anyone I’m with better think they’re the luckiest person in the world to be with me.
I hate to say it but the person that initiated the break often has the intention of trying something else out.
took a week long break because my boyfriend was immature and i needed him to see it. we had just joined university and he was letting women walk all over him and would ask him to meet after classes for extra tutoring as an excuse and would end up posting him on stories and telling people that he’s single. he’s a very kind man who has a very hard time saying no to things and growing up he was constantly bullied which made him more of an easy target to be influenced. i always saw that he was visibly distressed in those pictures and everytime he saw me after that, he’d be really upset about the situation. but he wouldn’t ever do anything to change it. so i told him if he couldn’t stand his ground at this grown age, i didnt want such a relationship.
he was very reluctant to go on the break. but eventually agreed. in that 1 week, he cut all ties with such groups, he found better friends, if anyone tried to hit on him he would tell people he’s engaged 😭 (it wasnt even true) and became very firm with his opinions. at the end of one week, he asked for another chance and said he wouldn’t pressure me if i didnt want it. i gave in, and its the best damn thing i ever did. i never had suspicions of cheating because he’s a very loving, transparent man. but im so glad he grew as a person.
She is probably seeing other men to replace you if she pushed for it.
From where I stand. It never works out in the end, so break means break up
