What should you do if your girlfriend wants a break but doesn't want to break up?

Answer 1

Ever watch Friends? So do you want to break up? If not, then accept the break and ask her how long she wants a break for and what a break means? Does it mean date other people? Does it mean stop all communication for a period of time? Clarify everything. If you would rather break up, then do it. Tell her you would rather not be put on hold and just break up. Another thing: if she is doing this it may be a sign that something is bothering her that she cannot discuss because she's uncomfortable with it, unsure about it, afraid of it, etc... It is possible that she still likes you in this case and simply does not know how to fix the problem so she decides to avoid it instead by taking a break so that the relationship can survive while her issue(s) go away. To check for this ask her if anything is wrong. Do some reflection and see if you can guess the issues she may have yourself. See if you have similar issues. Bring them up first and see if there can be a HEART TO HEART relationship saving conversation instead of a break up. Unfortunately, this always means the relationship is on very thin ice. Toe the line. Give her space if she needs it. 90% of men force a relationship to end by doing TOO MUCH when the girl is needing SPACE, because it is a male instinct to try harder if something isn't working... Last thing-she isn't the last girl of her quality...so if it fails then remind yourself another will come along and that every guy goes through this kind of thing many times. It's a part of life.
